Description

Iceland is the ideal destination to discover in winter time. This vacation package to Iceland includes the most popular sights in Iceland, Thingvellir National Park, waterfall Gullfoss, Geysir, the South Coast and the Blue Lagoon. Travel to Iceland and experience the country’s ever changing nature in wintertime, relax in quiet, comfortable countryside hotels and enjoy the sparkling cultural- and nightlife-atmosphere of Reykjavik. When visiting Iceland during winter time, one should look out for the mysterious lights of the Aurora Borealis. On a clear night, you may be lucky enough to see the Northern Lights swirling and dancing across the sky in dramatic shapes and colors. Old stories and legends of elves and trolls come to life in the twilight of a Nordic winter day.
