North Iceland is a distant and, at times, harsh land located far from Reykjavík. A relatively small number of tourists visit it, so it can be desirable for those who seek an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The northern part of Iceland impresses with the magnificence of nature, such as incredible waterfalls, vast canyons, hardly available highlands, volcanic craters, and geothermal areas with hot springs. The essential attractions in North Iceland create a spectacular sightseeing route, the Diamond Circle.
The capital of North, Akureyri, a beautifully situated, lovely town, is the main starting point for excursions and a great place to stay for a few nights. It is also worth going to Húsavík for the best whale-watching tours on the island.
North Iceland amazes the austerity of many places, delights with tundra vegetation, and the possibility of close contact with wild animals. You can feel like you are at the end of the world here, so check our best tour offer, and don’t miss this wonderful part of Iceland!
