Are 5 days enough for Iceland?

Regardless of the season, five days in Iceland is more than enough to have a fantastic holiday, whether you are seeking relaxation in the nature, adventure on a tour, culture in the capital, or all of the above.

Is Iceland worth visiting in the summer?

Visiting Iceland is absolutely amazing all year round, but every season has its own charm. This is the brightest and most colourful season in Iceland and during summer almost anything is possible. Summer is prime time for hiking and pool hopping between natural hot springs.

Can I drive around Iceland in 5 days?

Short answer: absolutely. You can drive Iceland’s route 1 in five days, and still enjoy many of the spectacular locations available along the way. If you are in a hurry, it can even be done in four days (as we spent a good bit of time on the south coast).

How long do you need in Reykjavik?

Just for exploring Reykjavík, 1-2 days are in fact enough, unless you want to see every single museum, exhibition, park and architecturally interesting building the city has to offer.

Can you see Northern Lights in Iceland in summer?

The northern lights are ongoing and are visible briefly even in the months of May and August (though because it never gets properly dark in Iceland in the summer, that would be the wrong time to go looking). September through March is the peak season for northern lights viewing because the nights are longest.

Can you see the northern lights in Iceland?

Iceland is one of the best places in the world to see the aurora borealis, or northern lights. Here, at 65° N on the southern edge of the Arctic Circle, you can see auroras almost every night (and in warmer temperatures than other viewing locations in Scandinavia).

What’s the best month to go to Iceland?

Summer (June to August) is the best time to visit Iceland, thanks to the midnight sun and warmer temperatures. Hikers should consider July and August, when all the trails are open. Don’t discount winter, though – February, March, September and October are the best time to travel to Iceland for the Northern Lights.
