⏸Iceland is known as the "land of fire and ice", with breathtaking scenery, vibrant culture, and various glaciers, hot springs, waterfalls, volcanoes, etc. Now, let's embark on this wonderful journey together! 🕓[Best Travel Time] Throughout the year, Iceland is suitable for tourism. Summer (June to August) is the peak season for tourism, with mild weather and temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the best time for hiking, exploring the countryside, and enjoying the brilliant sunshine. Winter (December to February) is the best time to see the Northern Lights and experience Iceland's unique winter activities, with temperatures possibly dropping to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. ✈️[How to get there] Our country does not have direct flights to Iceland, so you need to transfer. You can choose from Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, because there are the most flights to Europe. Airlines include Finnair, Air France, and Lufthansa. 🌅[Recommended attractions] ✅Reykjavik: This charming city is the dreamland for you to start your Iceland adventure. Take a stroll around the colorful houses and visit the Harpa Concert Hall. ✅Golden Circle: This is the most popular tourist route in Iceland. The Golden Circle includes three major attractions: Thingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Gullfoss Waterfall. ✅Blue Lagoon: This famous geothermal hot spring is a must-visit in Iceland, where you can relax in warm milky blue seawater surrounded by lava fields. ✅South Coast: The South Coast has Iceland's most beautiful scenery, including Vik black sand beach, Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, and the glaciers of Vatnajokull National Park. ✅Aurora: If you visit Iceland in winter, you will have the opportunity to see the unique landscape of the Aurora. ✅Ice Cave Adventure: Explore the crystal clear blue ice cave under the Vatnajökull Glacier, a unique and spectacular natural landscape. ✅Whale Watching: Take a boat to watch humpback whales, minke whales, dolphins and porpoises. ✅Snorkeling and Diving: Snorkel or dive in the crystal clear waters of Silfra, located in Thingvellir National Park. The water is so clear you can see the bottom. ✅Horseback riding: The unique Icelandic horse breed is a must-see in the area. ✅Skaftafell National Park: Hiking along the trails of Skaftafell National Park, you can visually experience stunning glaciers and waterfalls. 🍗[Food Recommendation] Icelandic cuisine is famous for its seafood, lamb, and dairy products. ✅ Icelandic lamb: Icelandic lamb is known for its delicious and tender meat. You can find it on the menu of most restaurants, but the most famous place to try it is Fiskmarkadurinn in Reykjavik. ✅Skyr: Skyr is a traditional Icelandic yogurt with high protein and low fat, which is available in most grocery stores. ✅Hot dogs: Hot dogs are a popular street food in Iceland, and you can find them at stalls all over Reykjavik. The most famous stall is Baejarins Beztu Pylsur, which has been serving hot dogs since 1937. ✅Seafood: Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Iceland offers a wide variety of fresh seafood to taste. You must try the Icelandic fish soup at Saegreifinn in Reykjavik. [Tips] A wonderful trip often requires better preparation. ✅Warmth: Even in summer, Iceland can be very cold, so be sure to bring warm supplies. Also, if you plan to hike, please bring a comfortable pair of hiking boots. ✅Transportation: Iceland has no subway or train, and public transportation between cities is not well developed. The only option is to drive, but it's best to hire a guide or driver. ✅Language: Icelandic. ✅Currency: Icelandic Króna. ✅Wildlife: Iceland is home to a variety of wild animals, including reindeer and Arctic foxes, but it's important not to disturb or approach them. ✅Accommodation: 1. Hotels, inns, and guesthouses: these are several common options. 2. Airbnb: Airbnb is a popular choice in Iceland, and if you're looking for a more private and homely experience, it's a good option. 3. Camping: Camping is also a popular choice in Iceland, with many campsites throughout the country. However, please note to keep warm and be aware of wild animals. 4. Farm stays: There are many farms in Iceland that offer accommodation, allowing tourists to experience Iceland's rural life. In short, Iceland is a unique and magical country. From the enchanting scenery to the unique culture and cuisine, I hope you can feel the charm of this place, and also hope you can remember the footprints left here.
