Bathe in the iconic Blue Lagoon
The most iconic landmark in Iceland, the blue lagoon has to be seen to be believed. A geothermal pool sat in a lava field, the lagoon heats naturally to around 38°C. The dreamy blue waters of the lagoon are said to have healing properties and the surrounding spa complex is the ideal way to unwind after a long day of exploring.

Vatnajökull National Park is home to Europe’s largest waterfall (Dettifoss) and Landmannalaugar boasts rugged hills, excellent hiking trails and natural hot springs.
