- Reykjavik: Iceland’s capital with a creative pulse. Visit Hallgrímskirkja, bathe in the Blue Lagoon, or walk along the harbour—a blend of nature, art, and northern light.
- Heimaey (Westmann Islands): Volcanic island alive with seabirds. See the Eldfell volcano, tour the puffin cliffs, or visit the eruption museum. Dramatic and unforgettable.
