Want to know more about Iceland before your trip? Let's look at a few useful facts to learn more about the country.

Before diving into the various maps of Iceland, firstly, let's answer where Iceland is on the world map. Iceland is a European island country in the North Atlantic Ocean, about halfway between Norway and Greenland. Most of Iceland is just south of the Arctic Circle , though the tiny island of Grimsey is within the limits of the Arctic Circle.

The average temperature in the capital, Reykjavik is around 54 F (12 C) in summer and about 33–35 F (1–2 C) in winter. But the weather in Iceland can be unpredictable, with sunshine and snowstorms being minutes apart.

Its high latitude means you can experience the midnight sun in the summer and long nights in the winter, ideal for seeing the northern lights .

Iceland's official language is Icelandic , but most Icelanders also speak and understand English.

The capital of Iceland is Reykjavik , on the edge of the Southern Peninsula in the Southwest. About 135,000 people live in  Reykjavik , about one-third of the country's population. If you include the surrounding townships of the Capital Region , the population is about 220,000.

Iceland is divided into eight regions. Take a look at the map of Icelandic regions below — the regions are marked with numbers.

These regions are:

• Capital Region
• Southern Peninsula
• West Iceland
• Northwest Iceland
• Northeast Iceland
• East Iceland
• South Iceland

There's a bit of overlap between Northwest Iceland and Northeast Iceland. Sometimes, they're collectively referred to as North Iceland . Sometimes, the Icelandic Highlands , located in central Iceland, are referred to as a region of their own.

Iceland's currency is the Icelandic krona. Some larger hotels might accept payment in euros or US dollars — but you should always check before you travel. It's also important to check the exchange rate when you are preparing for your trip. Most places in Iceland do take credit cards, even taxis, but it's always wise to carry some Icelandic currency to be sure.

While many travelers to Iceland are happy to stay in Reykjavik and travel out each day, some also wish to travel around the country on an epic road trip.

Booking a self-drive tour can help organize this for you, with accommodations being booked in advance as you traverse the country. These driving maps of Iceland can help you pick which places to go if you're planning your trip independently.

The most comprehensive road trip is to go around the entire Ring Road.

This is a road map of Iceland with all the main sights marked in varying color tags. Feel free to zoom in to look at each attraction's location.

Iceland's Ring Road (Route 1) is a popular route that circles the entire island.

This Iceland attractions map includes the most famous waterfalls, volcanoes, glaciers, and beaches along the route. It's also easy to stray a little off the Ring Road to include some of the lesser-known attractions in Eastfjords or the beautiful Snaefellsnes peninsula in West Iceland .

If you want to visit Iceland's northern or eastern regions, you should aspire to drive the whole circle from Reykjavik.

It's roughly the same distance to drive from Reykjavik to the town of Egilsstadir in East Iceland via the northern or southern routes. And the two routes show a vastly different side of the country.

Popular self-drive tours

10-day self-drive tour of the complete ring road of iceland with top attractions & snaefellsnes, best 1-week summer self-drive tour of the ring road of iceland & golden circle, best 7-day northern lights self drive tour through south iceland to jokulsarlon ice cave.

It's possible to drive the Ring Road in six days, but the longer you take, the more sites you can see and the longer you can spend at them. For example, you can do a 10-day self-drive tour of Ring Road and the Snaefellsnes peninsula .

The Westfjords are Iceland's second most remote area behind the uninhabited Highlands. It's cut off from the Ring Road and requires a bit of a detour to reach. But by adding it to the trip, you'll fully encircle Iceland, as seen on this second Iceland driving map.

Many of the roads in the area are gravel, and snowstorms on mountain passes can happen even in summer, so you'll need to take your time as you drive from one scenic fjord to another.

The Westfjords are barely accessible during winter due to heavy snowfalls, closed roads, and even avalanche threats, but they are magical in summer. So think of this as the off-beat Iceland attractions map.

You can take the ferry Baldur between Stykkisholmur and Brjanslaekur in the Westfjords to decrease driving time, with an optional stop at the tranquil Flatey island , one of Iceland's hidden gems .

If you want to spend two weeks exploring the whole country at an affordable price, this 14-day budget Ring Road self-drive tour is for you.

For those who prefer a bit more luxury and an ensuite bathroom during your stay, this 14-day self-drive around Iceland and Westfjords tour is also available.

You can also explore the beautiful Westfjords on your own. See the Westfjords map below for its top attractions:

The capital of the Westfjords region is the town of Isafjordur . With a population of just over 2,500, it makes an excellent base for exploring the sights of the remote Westfjords.

These sights include the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve , home to Arctic foxes and some of Iceland's most notable birds , like Arctic terns and black guillemots. If you want to go birdwatching, visit the Latrabjarg bird cliffs . The cliffs are 9 miles (14 kilometers) long and are the largest bird cliffs in Europe, so it's a great place to see the famous Atlantic puffin.

While in the Westfjords, you can also visit the 'Jewel of the Westfjords,' the stunning  Dynjandi waterfall  with its cascading flow down dramatic cliffs. We also recommend seeing  Raudisandur beach , which is unusual for Iceland as its sands are naturally reddish-pink rather than the typical volcanic black.

Try this two-day wildlife tour to see what animals you can spot, or go on an 11-hour hiking tour through the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve . The Westfjords also have excellent opportunities for kayaking — you could even see whales or dolphins on this 2-hour kayaking tour  departing from Isafjordur.

The Golden Circle & West Iceland Driving Map

This map of Iceland attractions features the best locations in Southwest Iceland, including the Golden Circle sites and the many highlights of the Snaefellsnes peninsula.

The Golden Circle is the country's most popular sightseeing route and an excellent choice for those who find the Westfjords too remote or visit in the winter.

You can visit the Gullfoss waterfall , the Geysir geothermal area , and Thingvellir National Park . It also includes natural sights like the Hraunfossar waterfall and human-made attractions such as the world-famous Blue Lagoon .

Since the capital is located in the center of the west's attractions, you can visit all major sites while staying in Reykjavik. Think of this as a highlights map of Iceland if you want to see the area's top sights in just a few days.

While traveling in  West Iceland , you may want to spend more than a day exploring the Snaefellsnes peninsula. This two-day West Coast and Snaefellsnes peninsula winter tour is a great option to make the most of each location, whereas this six-day winter self-drive tour of the Golden Circle and Snaefellsnes peninsula is tailored towards northern lights hunting.

Iceland's South Coast Driving Map

The landscape of the  South Coast of Iceland  is known for its dramatic volcanic deserts and beautiful waterfalls. It has quickly become one of the most popular routes because it's close to Reykjavik and accessible. In one day, you can enjoy a round trip of visiting black sand beaches, taking a glacier hike tour , and exploring waterfalls and volcanoes.

You can reach the magnificent Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon in two days, and if traveling between mid-October and March, you can explore the insides of  ice caves .

If you're traveling to Iceland in the winter, the South Coast, the Snaefellsnes peninsula, and the Golden Circle are the three routes with good accessibility year-round.

If you want to enjoy all three of these routes on a budget, this seven-day self-drive tour of South Iceland is highly recommended.

If you only have a few days in Iceland and want to spend time on the South Coast, you can take a two-day summer South Coast tour or a two-day winter South Coast tour that will take you to all the highlights.

Skaftafell Nature Reserve is located within Vatnajokull National Park  in Southeast Iceland. You can see where the nature reserve is located on the map of Skaftafell below.

The nature reserve is a hiker's paradise with many hikes available, whether it be a day hike or a multi-day journey. It makes a suitable base camp for anyone who wants to climb Hvannadalshnukur , the highest peak in Iceland. Take a Hvannadalshnukur climbing tour to ensure you can hike up safely with the expertise of a local guide.

Other popular routes in the area include a walk up to Svartifoss waterfall  with its iconic basalt columns and another to Svinafellsjokull glacier , an outlier glacier of Vatnajokull. You can also take a 3.5-hour Glacier Hike on the Fallsjokull glacier  with a licensed guide.

Also nearby is the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, a large lake filled with enormous icebergs that break off from a glacial tongue and drift slowly out to sea. The lake is the deepest in Iceland and is also home to many seals that might say hi to visitors. The best way to experience this unique natural wonder is a  boat tour of the Jokulsarlon lagoon to experience the icebergs up close.

North Iceland is known for its deep fjords, beautiful lakes, and interesting cultural sites. It takes about a 6-hour drive to reach the north while departing from Reykjavik.

It's also home to the second-largest settlement outside the Capital Region, Akureyri . You can also visit the ' whale watching capital of Europe' Husavik , the beautiful Lake Myvatn and the stunning Asbyrgi canyon.

Many of the attractions are also covered in the Ring Road map, but down below, you can find more detailed maps of Lake Myvatn and Asbyrgi Canyon:

Lake Myvatn is definitely worth a visit while exploring North Iceland. The lake is the fourth largest in the country and is dotted with small islands. It's in a highly active geothermal area with many unique geological features and hot springs. You can take a dip in the geothermal water at Myvatn Nature Baths , which has large pools of warm mineral-rich water as well as two steam baths. Booking admission to the Myvatn Nature Baths is a great way to unwind after a day of exploring this beautiful area.

As you can see on the map of Myvatn lake above, the lake is also close to Krafla volcano and the Viti crater . The region is excellent for birdwatching and even the arctic fox can sometimes be spotted near nesting sites.

You can take a one-day tour of Lake Myvatn from Akureyri . Alternatively, if you're traveling in winter, you can go on an incredible dog-sledding tour  pulled by adorable Siberian huskies.

Asbyrgi Canyon in Northeast Iceland is best known for its horseshoe shape. There's a lot of interesting folklore surrounding the canyon — legend has it that it was formed by the footprint of Odin's eight-legged horse, Sleipnir.

The canyon is on the Diamond Circle route , about 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of Husavik . Take a look at the map of the Diamond Circle below.

If you visit Asbyrgi canyon, don't forget to stop at the nearby Jokulsargljufur canyon and Dettifoss waterfall , the second most powerful waterfall in Europe. The whole area is an excellent place to see the northern lights, and there are tours dedicated to helping visitors do just that. Try this northern lights tour from Akureyri , or sign up for a 10-hour Diamond Circle tour to see all the best sights in the area.

Map of Iceland's Natural Attractions

Iceland is world-renowned for its incredible natural wonders, including waterfalls, hot springs, and volcanoes, with fascinating towns and villages along the way.

The following maps are a great place to start if you seek such natural and cultural delights.

Map of Iceland's Waterfalls

Iceland's rugged landscape, with its wealth of  glaciers and rivers, means there are more waterfalls than you can count all around the country. You don't even need to leave the city borders of Reykjavik since there's a waterfall found right in the valley of Ellidaardalur !

It would be impossible to try to count all the waterfalls that exist in Iceland. Many of them have no names, and new ones form each year from melting glaciers or changes in the ground due to earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

You can find a map of some of Iceland's most dramatic, powerful, and beautiful waterfalls above.

Gullfoss waterfall is Iceland's most famous waterfall. Its name, meaning 'Golden Falls,' is earned for its remarkable beauty and the rainbow crown that forms above it on sunny days. You can find it on the world-renowned Golden Circle route.

Seljalandsfoss waterfall and Skogafoss waterfall are a pair of popular and easily accessible waterfalls on the South Coast. They're 19 miles (30 kilometers) apart, connected by the Ring Road. Near them are other smaller waterfalls you can explore while there. Taking a minibus tour of the South Coast will not only bring you to both of these waterfalls, but you will also get to take part in an exciting glacier hike!

Only a short walk from Seljalandsfoss, you can find  Gljufrabui waterfall . It is tucked between two cliffs, forming a hidden cave about 0.5 miles (800 meters) from Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Hiking up the trail at the top of Skogafoss waterfall will lead you to around 30 more waterfalls, one after the other.

Dettifoss waterfall, featured in the opening scene of the motion picture Prometheus , can be found in Northeast Iceland.

Glymur  in the Westfjords is the tallest waterfall in the country that can be easily accessed. Another must-see waterfall in the Westfjords includes  Dynjandi , with its cascading water flowing down a tall cliff, making it a very dramatic sight.

Iceland is known for its hexagon-shaped basalt columns, which has even inspired some of the country's architecture. Svartifoss waterfall in the Skaftafell Nature Reserve has water flowing down a backdrop of black basalt columns, making it a very special waterfall.

The smaller waterfalls are still impressive due to their picturesque nature or location, like Kirkjufellsfoss, which nestles close to the cone-shaped Kirkjufell mountain on the Snaefellsnes peninsula, or Hraunfossar falls , which trickles out of the lava in the western part of Iceland.

No matter which direction you decide to go, you'll surely find some impressive waterfalls.

While driving the Ring Road or through the Westfjords, you'll see more than you can count, providing countless photo opportunities and some magnificent sights.

Map of Iceland's Hot Springs and Swimming Pools

One thing you'll notice while driving around Iceland is that every town and village, no matter how small, will have a swimming pool .

The Greater Reykjavik area has a whopping 17 of them! In addition to the swimming pools in Reykjavik , there are also several hot springs and spas around the country you can bathe in, both human-made and natural.

You can easily find the swimming pools, as there will be a sign pointing the way to each one within each town, and since Iceland's towns and villages are small, finding them takes just minutes.

Arguably, the most stunning swimming pool in Iceland is the swimming pool in Hofsos , which boasts an undisturbed ocean view of Skagafjordur bay in North Iceland.

The natural pools are harder to pin down as many do not appear on Google Maps. But it's such a treat that we've added the ones we can find to this map of Iceland with attractions. Some are in the middle of nowhere, with no roads near them. Others are unmarked, so it's best to ask the locals if there are any hot pools in the vicinity.

The pools also vary in look, size, and temperature. Some natural hot springs are forbidden to enter because of danger (high temperature or falling rocks) or to protect the pools and the delicate surrounding nature.

If the hot springs are on private land, you need to ask for permission before entering the pool.

The above map is for a two-week summer hot spring self-drive tour that lists many pools, spas, geothermal areas, natural hot springs, and notable attractions along the route.

Deciding which pools to seek out will depend on what you're looking for. If you want modern comforts like a changing room, showers, and bathrooms, you'll be looking for something quite different from a natural pool that requires you to disrobe outdoors in the sun, rain, wind, or snow.

The Blue Lagoon is a world-famous geothermal water spa on the Reykjanes peninsula . It has showers, restrooms, changing facilities, on-site massages, a bar, a cafe, a restaurant, and even a hotel if you want to spend the night or have private access to the lagoon. Make sure to book your ticket to the Blue Lagoon early, as admission is limited and demand is high! 

With a small geyser bubbling nearby, another hot pool is the historic  Secret Lagoon by the town of  Fludir in South Iceland. It is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland, built in 1891, but was transformed in the 21st century into a comfortable, warm geothermal pool. It has become more popular to end a tour of the Golden Circle by relaxing in the Secret Lagoon .

The Sky Lagoon is the perfect option if you'd prefer to stay in the capital region. Located in Kopavogur , it has a large geothermal pool with additional facilities, including a cold mist room, sauna and steam room, as well as a restaurant and an in-pool bar. It was opened in 2021 and has already gained a lot of popularity.

You can also head to Fontana Spa by Lake Laugavatn , where you can enjoy a sauna that's built right on top of a steaming geyser with a beautiful lake view. To lower the sauna's temperature, you simply open the door to let in some fresh air. The Myvatn Nature Baths in North Iceland offer a similar experience if you're exploring the region.

Krauma is one of the newest spa additions in Iceland, located right next to Deildartunguhver hot spring , the hot spring with the highest flow of water in the all of Europe. Getting a ticket to Krauma will grant you access to their sleek hot tubs and saunas, and don't forget to check out the stylish restaurant on-site.

Other new spas include the Geosea baths in North Iceland, fed with naturally heated saltwater, and the Vok Baths in the east.

Map of Iceland's Volcanoes

There are around 130 volcanoes in Iceland, although most are dormant.

The sheer amount of volcanoes means not all would fit on a map, but you can see the most notable ones above.  

Some of them are very picturesque from afar, such as the Snaefellsjokull volcano, which crowns the Snaefellsnes peninsula and, in clear weather, can be seen from the capital.

It's also famous for being the entry point to the Earth's core in Jules Verne's science fiction classic from 1864, Journey to the Center of the Earth .

Other volcanoes require challenging but spectacular hikes to reach, such as Eyjafjallajokull , which is found right by the famous  Fimmvorduhals trek. This volcano became world-famous in 2010 when its eruption grounded flights all over Europe for weeks, as well as puzzling news anchors and journalists attempting to pronounce its name.

You can also explore beautiful volcanic craters that are easy to hike up to and around, such as Hverfjall and Kerid . You can even enter the now dormant caldera of a volcano with the Inside the Volcano tour . It's the only caldera on Earth where you can descend into it and explore its vast and colorful magma chamber.

Other volcanoes are tucked away in the Highlands , such as Bardarbunga volcano  or Holuhraun volcano , where their destructive powers can change the landscape but do no harm to towns or villages nestled on the country's shores. Even so, the effects of the ash on farmland and air travel can still be catastrophic.

Almost all guests will spend at least one night of their holiday in Reykjavik, Iceland's capital. Naturally, we have more than one map of Reykjavik for you.

Map of Reykjavik's Main Attractions

If you're looking for a detailed map of Iceland, then you also need a dedicated map of Reykjavik. Iceland's capital is full of interesting attractions, including impressive architecture, art galleries, museums, parks, and markets.

The most iconic landmark is the 245-foot (74.5-meter) tall Hallgrimskirkja church , visible from almost every angle in Reykjavik and beyond the city limits. From its top, you have a great view of the city (although visitors must pay a small fee, around 7 USD, to take the lift up the tower). You can find another viewing platform at Perlan , or The Pearl, which also houses several exhibitions, a cafe, and a restaurant.

The Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Center is an attraction due to its impressive architecture, featuring a glass facade lit up with LED lights, and its many concerts, festivals, and exhibitions. Make sure you check the events calendar for Harpa before your visit.

• See also: Sightseeing in Reykjavik

For a little natural beauty in the city, visitors can enjoy the views of the pond  Tjornin , located right next to Reykjavik City Hall . The City Hall is open to all visitors, with many art showings and music events throughout the year.

If you're curious about the Icelandic art scene, then there are dozens of art galleries, museums, and street art exhibits from which to choose. The main art galleries have been included in the map above. Furthermore, you can find many smaller ones on the main shopping streets of Laugavegur , Skolavordustigur, Hverfisgata, and the surrounding streets.

• See also: Art Galleries in Reykjavik

You can also find many sculptures throughout the city. The most famous one is most likely  Solfarid, or The Sun Voyager , with its impressive seaside view of Faxafloi bay . We recommend a museum for Iceland's greatest sculptor, the Einar Jonsson Museum , located next to Hallgrimskirkja, with a beautiful sculpture garden with free entry behind it. If you venture to Laugardalur , Reykjavik's recreational area, you can also visit the Asmundur Sveinsson Sculpture Museum .

Laugardalur also has a botanical garden, a family park and zoo, the country's largest swimming pool ( Laugardalslaug ), a football stadium, a skating rink, and a campsite.

Outdoor markets are uncommon in Iceland, but you will find the fleamarket Kolaportid by the Old Harbor . In 2017, a food market opened at the  Hlemmur bus stop , called 'Hlemmur Matholl,' and another food market, 'Grandi Matholl,' opened shortly after that near the harbor.

If you want to leave the city center for some beautiful sunset views or to see the northern lights in the winter, then head to the lighthouse at Grotta  peninsula. Another unique place just outside the city is  Videy island , which can be reached by ferry departing from the harbor, where you can see the historical Videyjarstofa and the  Imagine Peace art installation  by Yoko Ono. Alternatively, you can head to Ellidaardalur valley to enjoy a midnight picnic right next to a waterfall within the city's borders.

Map of Reykjavik's Nightlife

It's easy to navigate Reykjavik's nightlife on foot, especially if you're staying in the city center. There aren't many nightclubs, as most of Reykjavik's nightlife venues lead double or triple lives as cafes, restaurants, bars, hotels, music venues, and clubs.

You'll find almost all the bars you'll need on or by Reykjavik's main shopping street: Laugavegur. It can take as little as a few seconds to go from one bar to the next in this lively Nordic capital.

If you're planning on barhopping, you could start by sipping on a cocktail at your hotel. Many of the upscale hotels in Reykjavik double as popular hangout places for fancy cocktails with house restaurants where you can have a glass of wine or two with your meal.

If you're more into craft beers, there are a few locales where you can start your night instead. The best bars for craft beer in Reykjavik are Skuli Craft Bar, MicroBar, and Bryggjan Brewery.

See also: Where to Stay in Reykjavik

Following a drink at a hotel or a craft beer bar, you can go to one of the hostels, such as Loft Hostel or KEX Hostel , where there's usually live music or stand-up comedy.

Here, the crowds are more relaxed, and it's easier to mingle with strangers when you're both laughing or enjoying the same live jazz. To end the night, choose between many bars that double as nightclubs, with music playing long into the night (most venues close at 5 AM on weekends).

See also: Icelandic Music

Tjarnarbio, Idno, and Thjodleikhusid host theater performances, live music, and improv comedy throughout the week and are great spots to check out. If you're looking for live rock music, Dillon, Gaukurinn and Lemmy's are the best choices downtown.

Bio Paradis is not just a great spot to watch classic Icelandic films (with English subtitles) or international art-house films. It also serves beer and has a cozy sofa area surrounded by movie posters frequented by locals looking to relax or play games.

Map of Reykjavik's Swimming Pools

You can find hundreds of swimming pools all over Iceland. Many Icelandic swimming pools would be considered spas in other countries but still have an unbeatable entry price.

The largest pool in Reykjavik and all of Iceland is the Laugardalslaug swimming pool , which sports both an indoor and outdoor pool, saunas, a massage room, seven hot tubs, and also a cold tub. If that wasn't enough, there's also a large gym next door called with the secluded spa for an additional cost.

The most central swimming pool in Reykjavik is the historical  Sundholl Reykjavikur . It is the oldest swimming pool in Reykjavik but was renovated in 2017 with an additional outdoor pool, sauna, as well as hot and cold tubs. Two other swimming pools are relatively close to Reykjavik's city center, Vesturbaejarlaug and Seltjarnarneslaug. Both are outdoor (heated) pools with several hot tubs and saunas.

Map of Iceland's Towns & Villages

Reykjavik is the only actual city in Iceland. The other settlements in the country are small by the global standard and considered towns or villages. Each one has its own distinct character and charm, with at least a few places of note that are worth a visit. Below, you'll find a map of some of the most famous or popular towns in Iceland to help plan your trip:

The largest town outside of the capital region is Akureyri , with a population of about 20,00, sometimes called 'the Capital of the North.' Other popular towns across Iceland are Selfoss in South Iceland , Egilsstadir , the largest settlement of East Iceland , and the secluded Isafjordur in the Westfjords. Selfoss has just under 7,000 people, while Egilsstadir and Isfjordur have roughly 2,500 people living there.

The largest towns in West Iceland are Borgarnes and Stykkisholmur , with fewer than 2,000 inhabitants.

These smaller towns tend to have limited numbers of grocery stores , hotels, and restaurants compared to Reykjavik. However, you should be able to find the basic amenities you're looking for. Researching your destination before traveling is a good idea to ensure you have enough food and supplies for your stay.

A Driving Tour of Iceland's Towns and Cities

If you're planning to tour Iceland's towns, look at the towns and cities map below. The map has a suggested route for your trip that visits some of Iceland's most notable towns and cities.

The route can be done in seven days, but you'll definitely want more time than this to explore all the sights and attractions you'll pass along the way. The route starts and ends at Reykjavik and passes through towns such as Vik , Selfoss , Hofn , Egilsstadir, Husavik , and Isafjordur. You can learn more about some of these towns below.

Akureyri is called the "Capital of the North" as it is the largest town in Iceland outside of the Greater Reykjavik Area. It's the cultural hub of North Iceland and has plenty to keep visitors occupied during their stay. The below map of Akureyri shows some of the best things to do in the area.

Attractions in Akureyri include the Laufas turf house , the northernmost botanical garden in the world , a swimming pool, and the Akureyrarkirkja church , with its iconic stairs leading up to the church door. In the winter, you can go skiing on Mount Hlidarfjall , one of the best ski resorts in the country. There's also a fun Christmas House , which celebrates Christmas year-round and sells all sorts of festive trinkets and treats.

You can also drive to Dalvik to take the ferry to Hrisey island , a beautiful and tranquil place with an interesting history.

Husavik is a small town in North Iceland and one of the best places in the world to go whale watching. Most boat tour operators offer 100% sighting rates in the summer months. The water is home to baleen whales, dolphins and porpoises, and Arctic puffins are also often seen in the area. Browse a wide range of whale-watching tours and book before you travel.

Husavik was also featured in the 2020 film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga . There's now a bar inspired by the film in the town, Jaja Ding Dong Husavik.

Beyond whales and films, it's a beautiful place to visit and has a fascinating history. Take a look at the below map of Husavik to see some of the best things to do while visiting there.

Selfoss is a town in South Iceland with a population of just under 7,000 people. It's about 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of Reykjavik. You can see a map of Selfoss and some of the best things to do here.

Selfoss is a good base if you want to explore the sights of the Golden Circle, but it's also close to the world-famous Geysir hot springs. From Selfoss, you can also reach Kerid crater,  Ingolfsfjall mountain  and the hot springs valley of Reykjadalur .

You'll find an interesting church and a museum dedicated to the chess player Bobby Fischer, who became an Icelandic citizen in his later years, in the town itself. The town is also home to the 'Sumar a Selfossi' (Summer in Selfoss) festival, with musical acts and a fete.

1. Iceland on a map – Where is Iceland on a map of the world?

If you’re wondering, where is Iceland on a map of the world , don’t worry, because below, you’ll find a world map where you will see its location. Iceland is an island located between the European and North American continents but is considered part of Europe. In fact, below you will see where Iceland is on the map of Europe . It is a Nordic country, located between Norway and Greenland, at a high latitude, just below the Arctic Circle.

1. Iceland on a map – Where is Iceland on a map of the world

And now that you know where Iceland is on the map , you can imagine that, due to its location, temperatures are very low in winter and cool in summer. However, thanks to where Iceland is on the map, you can enjoy two incredible phenomena there: the northern lights in winter and the midnight sun in summer. Below you will also find a map with the best locations to see Northern Lights in Iceland .

2. Tourist map of Iceland – Map of Iceland attractions

On the Iceland tourist map below, you’ll be able to quickly locate the island’s main points of interest. I like this type of map for getting a general idea of where the most important things are and for planning an itinerary.

3. Interactive map of Iceland

Below is an interactive map of Iceland so that you can see each and every one of the interesting places in this beautiful country.

On the map, you will find everything from the main tourist attractions of Reykjiavík, the capital of Iceland, to volcanoes, the most impressive waterfalls, natural pools with hot springs where you can bathe, and the best places to see the northern lights in winter.

I have organized the map with different layers so that you can use exactly the map of Iceland that you need. Later, I will also show you some of the most important maps, and, at the end of the article, I will tell you how to download this tourist map of Iceland so you can have easy access to it on your phone .

4. Road map of Iceland

This Iceland road map is an essential map for exploring the country by car. If you are going to drive in Iceland, make sure you download this map.

On it, you will see the main roads, including a map of Iceland F-Road , a road you must take if you visit the Highlands. Remember that to drive on the F-roads, you will need to rent a 4×4 in Iceland.

If you’re going to go to the Highlands of Iceland, I also recommend checking the following map to see if you have to cross any river to reach your destination (marked on the map with a V).

Apart from having this map of Iceland on hand, I recommend always checking the road conditions on Road.is , as you may find that you have to take some detours due to snow, overflowing rivers, storms, works, etc .

5. Map of Iceland’s Ring Road

Route 1, better known as the Ring Road, is the road that goes around the island and is, therefore, the most important road in the country. In some areas near Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, the Ring Road may look almost like a highway, but it is usually a very narrow road, with only two lanes at best.

Either way, it’s the best road for getting to know the entire island, as it passes by the main points of interest. Additionally, it is open throughout the year, and you won’t need a 4×4 car to drive it.

It’s a good idea to have a detailed map of the Ring Road so that you can see the places you will go through if you decide to visit it. On this map of Iceland, you will also see how long it takes to go around the island. You can check the  best Ring Road 10-day itinerary   here.

6. Map of Reykjavík, Iceland

Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland and therefore one of the places I recommend you visit because it has everything. To make it easy for you to locate the best tourist spots, on the map of Reykjavik below, you can find the most important ones.

Also, in this article, you can find the most important things to do in Reykjavik .

7. Map of Iceland Waterfalls

Iceland is a country full of waterfalls, and some of them are really impressive. Even three months wouldn’t be enough to visit them all, but I hope that, at least, with the following map of Iceland waterfalls, you know where the most important ones are. You can check the 25 best waterfalls in Iceland here.

If you have visited one that is not on the map and it left you speechless, leave me a comment so I can add it .

8. Map of Iceland hot springs

One of the things that impressed me about Iceland is the large number of natural pools with hot springs there. The feeling of bathing in the open air surrounded by wild nature and without being cold is indescribable. If you want to have this experience, on the map of the hot springs of Iceland below, you’ll find the best ones.

I definitely recommend making a stop to enjoy one of the best hot springs in Iceland . Do you know any other that is not on our map of Iceland? Don’t hesitate to let me know so I can add it .

9. Map of Iceland volcanoes + Map of Iceland glaciers

Iceland has around 130 active and extinct volcanoes and as many glaciers. If you want to know where they are, check out the map of Iceland volcanoes and also the map of Iceland glaciers below, which are essential for enjoying the land of ice and fire.

As there are so many volcanoes and glaciers in Iceland, I have surely forgotten to include some on the map, but I would like at least those that can be visited to be included. Therefore, if you have been to a volcano or glacier that is worth visiting, leave me a comment and I will add it .

10. Map of Iceland Cities and Villages

Here is a map of Iceland cities and villages so that when you travel around the island, you can find cities and towns where you can stop for lunch or rest.

11. Map of the best places to see Northern Lights in Iceland

Seeing the northern lights is one of the best things to do in Iceland if you travel in winter. However, due to light pollution, not all places are good for seeing and enjoying this phenomenon in the same way. In order for you to have a good memory and the best photographs back home, I have created a map of the best places to see northern lights in Iceland .

As you will see, in addition to points with the optimal conditions to see them, I have also marked the best Northern Lights hotels in Iceland .

Aren’t sure if you are traveling at the best time to see this phenomenon? Here is all the information you need to see Northern Lights in Iceland . Is this your first time seeing them and you don’t want to risk missing them? Here are my favorite Northern Lights tours from Reykjavik .

12. Map of Iceland Golden Circle

The Golden Circle of Iceland is a route of about 186 miles that begins very close to Reykjavík and goes into the heart of the island, passing by volcanic craters, waterfalls, geysers, continental divide, and much more. It is undoubtedly the most touristy area of the island, so here is a map of the Golden Circle of Iceland so that you know all the interesting places that are worth stopping at.

13. Map of the best places to stay in Iceland

As I mentioned at the beginning of the article, we return to the island every year to run our Iceland photo tours , so we have tried many accommodations. Here is a map of the best hotels in Iceland , although I also wrote this article about where to stay in Iceland . But if you want to find the best hotels near your favorite attractions at a glance, you can do it with this map of Iceland .

14. Iceland Map in Europe

27 Top Attractions & Things to do in Iceland

Known as the Land of Fire and Ice, Iceland is a country of sharp contrasts. A place where volcanically active hot spots and enormous glaciers can be found side by side. Where dark winters are offset by the summer’s midnight sun. A country where strange and desolate landscapes lay just outside the colorful capital of Reykjavik.

Set in an isolated spot in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Nordic nation is amongst the most sparsely populated in Europe. While expansive lava fields, endless tundra and glinting glaciers coat much of its interior, fabulous fjords and black sand beaches punctuate its long, indented coastline. The island is also home to a huge number of impressive waterfalls, each more breathtaking than the last.

See also: Where to Stay in Iceland

Needless to say, almost all of Iceland’s main tourist attractions in Iceland relate to its arresting array of natural riches. Whale watching tours and trips to see the Northern Lights are also popular things to do.

Certainly one of the most beautiful countries in the world, Iceland is an absolute treat to travel about with its spectacular landscapes and scenery wherever you look.

27. Fjadrargljufur Canyon

Often featured in travel magazines and on TV shows, Fjadrargljufur Canyon will definitely provide some of your best photos in Iceland (and that’s really saying something!). Its stunning, moss-coated cliffs and winding river lie just off the Ring Road, along the South Coast.

Stretching two kilometers in length, the dramatic-looking gorge was formed some two million years ago during the last Ice Age. Plunging up to a hundred meters deep, its sheer cliffs make for fantastic viewing what with the Fjadra river below and pretty waterfalls cascading down their grey and green rock faces.

From the car park, it is just a short hike up hill to three lovely viewpoints overlooking the incredible canyon. Although the isle is home to so many spellbinding nature spots, we still found this to be one of the most special places we came across.

26. Kerid Crater

Sparkling in the sun, the Kerid Crater stands out delightfully against the dark slopes of the collapsed volcano all around it. Located along the Golden Circle, just outside Selfoss, it is a nice spot to stop by quickly on your way to the Geysers of Haukadalur, Gullfoss Falls and Thingvellir National Park.

One of several crater lakes in the area, its colourful caldera is thought to have been created roughly 6,500 years ago after an enormous eruption. Visitors can amble along its rugged rim and walk down a short flight of steps to the glittering waters down below. Unusually for Iceland, there is a small fee to visit the fascinating nature site.

As it is the color of the rocks and reflective surface that make the lake so remarkable, we probably wouldn’t recommend visiting the crater in winter when it is usually covered in snow.

25. Diamond Beach

Although Vatnajokull National Park boasts lots of unique landscapes and astounding natural sights, Diamond Beach (Fellsfjara) still manages to shine bright. A photographer’s dream, its striking black sands and the large ice chunks dotted about them lie right next to Jokulsarlon Lagoon along the South Coast.

Almost sure to be unlike any beach you’ve ever visited before, its dark, volcanic sands create quite the contrast with all the white fragments of icebergs that wash ashore. Its arresting scenery perfectly encapsulates just why Iceland is endearingly known as ‘the Land of Ice and Fire’.

For the best photos and views, try and head here around sunset which is when the sea and small bits of ice are so magically lit up in a myriad of warm colors. From afar, it almost looks like thousands of diamonds have been scattered about the black sands of the beach.

24. Hornstrandir Nature Reserve

One of the most isolated parts of the isle, the humongous Hornstrandir Nature Reserve occupies the northernmost reaches of the Westfjord peninsula. As it is so hard to get to, its mountains, meadows and fjords are completely untouched and unspoiled with loads of birds and Arctic foxes living here.

Established in 1975, it protects a vast swathe of rich but fragile vegetation that mostly only survives because barely any people visit. The hardy hikers and birdwatchers that do make it here are in for a treat with Hornvik Bay’s colossal cliffs and jagged rock formations being just one of its main sights.

If you are not up for days spent trudging about bogs and through rough terrain or just don’t have the gear, you can always take a guided tour. A couple of companies run challenging but rewarding hikes to its windswept wilderness where you can see nesting birds, seals and foxes in their natural habitat.

23. Dyrholaey

Sometimes skipped by visitors short on time, the small peninsula of Dyrholaey is yet another of the South Coast’s most picturesque parts. Asides from panoramic views of breathtaking black beaches, basalt columns and sea cliffs, it has some cute little puffins and a historic lighthouse for you to see.

Once a volcanic island, the promontory merged with the mainland at some point in the distant past with its sheer, rocky cliffs towering 120 meters in height. From up high next to the 1927 Dyrholaey lighthouse, you can gaze out over the renowned Reynisfjara Beach and a stupendous sea arch being pulverised by the waves below.

As it is set at the southernmost tip of Iceland and is quite exposed, watch out for the sudden gusts of strong winds that sweep the clifftop. While we found it rather unpleasant being buffeted about and left before long, it didn’t seem to bother the hundreds of puffins that nest amidst the cliffs below.

22. Mount Kirkjufell

Thanks to its cylindrical shape, nearby waterfall and the swirling Northern Lights overhead, Mount Kirkjufell is one of west Iceland’s most photographed landmarks. Although it is now often overrun by Instagrammers trying to get the perfect photo, you have to visit if you can as there is something strangely captivating about its unique setting and scenery.

Featured in Game of Thrones as the ‘arrowhead mountain’, the 463-meter-high hill rises dramatically above the sea and the rest of the Snaefellsnes peninsula. Situated just outside of the small village of Grundarfjordur, it lies by the wonderful little waterfall of the same name with several small streams and some stunning coastline also located nearby.

As several people have sadly died up on its steep sides over the years, you can no longer climb the mountain though there is some great hiking to be had in the region. At night, lucky visitors can often see the awe-inspiring Aurora Borealis dancing about the dark skies above its distinctive cone.

21. See wild Reindeer in Eastfjords

As it is one of the least developed areas along the Ring Road, roadtrippers can sometimes spy huge herds of wild reindeer ambling about the achingly beautiful Eastfjords. In total, around 6 – 7,000 of the charming creatures now inhabit its snowy mountains, glimmering glaciers and green valleys.

The largest animals on the island, they were actually only introduced to Iceland in the late 1800s by royal decree. While most of the herds slowly died out over the decades, those in the remote reaches of the Eastfjords have thrived despite the harsh winters, cold weather and limited food supply.

As they mostly roam about the far-off highlands in summer, your best bet is seeing them in winter when the reindeer migrate to the lowlands, closer to human settlements, in search of food.

20. Akureyri Botanical Gardens

When people imagine the Nordic nation’s astounding scenery and nature, they don’t tend to include immaculately manicured gardens full of pretty flowers and water features. A very pleasant surprise, the Akureyri Botanical Gardens can be found towards the outskirts of the ‘Capital of North Iceland’.

Created by a group of local women in 1912, the country’s first public park now contains over 7,000 species of plants, flowers, trees and shrubs. Most of these actually hail from overseas with blooming poppies, dahlias and even sunflowers all spied alongside its tranquil paths and green open spaces.

One of the northernmost botanical gardens in the world, it lies just south of the Arctic Circle with a cute cafe and some rustic wooden houses dotted about its grounds. It actually ended up being one of our favourite stops in the north just because it was so unexpected and looked so different from the rest of the wild, rugged region.

Askja is a huge caldera that is located in the Dyngjufjoll Mountains. It is a popular day tour that takes approximately 11 to 14 hours in total to complete. To reach Askja, visitors must first travel through Odadahraun, which is Iceland’s biggest desert.

The landscape in this area is so otherworldly that two American astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, actually trained here before rocketing to the moon in 1969. A popular spot in Askja for visitors is a geothermal lake that can be found in a crater called Viti.

This lake is filled with warm milky blue water that visitors can bathe in, if they so choose. Lake Askja, the second deepest lake in Iceland, can also be found in this caldera.

18. Breidavik Beach

Breidavik Beach is, arguably, Iceland’s most beautiful beach. It boasts pretty turquoise blue waters, rugged cliffs that have been carved by glaciers and a wide stretch of golden sand.

It is a lovely area to go camping or to explore on an ATV as it is not a huge tourist destination. It is, however, the closest town to the Latrabjarg bird cliffs, which is Europe’s largest sea-bird cliff and home to millions of birds, including northern gannets, razorbills and puffins.

Because many of the birds in this area, especially the puffins, have become accustomed to humans, the cliffs have become a popular spot for bird lovers and photographers to get up close and personal with these beautiful creatures.

17. Dettifoss

Having said that, you can’t visit Dettifoss and not be blown away by the sheer power and majesty of the mighty waterfall. Part of the popular Diamond Circle route which includes the ‘nearby’ Husavik and Lake Myvatn, it is certainly a must-visit when you’re in the north.

Said to be the most powerful waterfall in the whole of Europe, the 100-metre-wide falls plunge their way 45 meters down the side of a colossal canyon. The churning wall of white water makes for an absolutely incredible sight with the dull roar you hear beforehand only increasing the anticipation.

Featured in the film Prometheus, it is set in the northern part of Vatnajokull National Park with the smaller Selfoss and Hafragilfoss waterfalls also lying nearby. While the viewpoint on the west side is easier to reach, the one to the east arguably affords you an even better view as you get a lot closer to the fabulous falls. It does, however, involve a long, bumpy drive along an uneven gravel track.

16. Hallgrimskirkja

An important symbol of Iceland’s national identity, the huge Hallgrimskirkja sits atop of a large hill overlooking the rest of Reykjavik . One of the capital’s standout sights, its unique Expressionist-style architecture makes for some phenomenal photos with the views from its tower being just as good.

Designed to resemble the distinctive basalt columns found all about the island, the massive modern cathedral was built between 1945 and 1986. While it is renowned for its curved spire and side wings that are so striking and unusual, its nave and sanctuary are much more traditional in comparison.

After basking in marvelous panoramas over the city, sea and far-off snowy mountains from its 74.5-metre-high belltower, check out the superb statue of Leif Erikson below. Standing triumphantly atop a pedestal, it depicts the famous Icelandic explorer who is assumed to have discovered the Americas 500 years before Columbus did.

15. Svartifoss

After having visited Hallgrimskirkja, you can hardly fail to notice its resemblance to the remarkable wall of hexagonal basalt columns found at Svartifoss. Located a couple of hours’ drive northeast of Vik along the Ring Road, it is yet another of Vatnajokull National Park’s most popular landmarks.

Meaning ‘black waterfall’ in Icelandic, it is so named due to all the dark lava columns that lie either side of its sparkling white waters. These make for some fantastic photos thanks to the clean-cut look of the columns that almost seem have been chiselled into individual pillars by hand.

To reach the waterfall, visitors have to hike a couple of kilometers along a winding path which takes you past a few other falls and some fine viewpoints. While the trail isn’t too taxing, it does get a bit slippery in places and is mostly uphill. Afterwards, you can always carry on to the Skaftafellsjokull glacier nearby or explore the rest of the national park of the same name.

14. Snorkel Silfra

One of the most unforgettable things to do in Iceland, this exciting experience sees you actually snorkel between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Even if you don’t fancy plunging into the freezing cold water, just go. There’s a reason why Silfra is rated one of the top dive destinations in the world.

Part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the gigantic underwater rift lies at one end of Thingvallavatn Lake and reaches a maximum depth of 63 meters in some places. Several companies run both snorkel and scuba dive trips here with expert instructors guiding you through the iconic abyss.

Once you’ve put on your dry suit and slipped into Silfra’s crystal-clear waters, you’ll instantly forget the sub-zero conditions and focus on the scenic rock formations of the fissure on either side. While it is a bit pricey, slowly swimming past the jagged walls of two continents is a thrilling feeling that we thought was worth every penny.

13. Skogafoss

Another of Iceland’s innumerable natural sights that regularly features in films, travel brochures and TV shows is the spectacular Skogafoss. Set along the South Coast, not all too far from both Vik and Dyrholaey, its thundering waters are a must-see for their size, scale and splendor.

One of the largest waterfalls in the country, its white curtain of water cascades its way off the top of a cliff that used to make up part of the island’s coastline. Standing at the bottom of the 60 meter falls and gazing up is a humbling experience with its fine spray often producing a lovely double rainbow on particularly sunny days.

If you want to see it from the top, you can always climb up its flight of 430 steps and take some pics of Skogafoss from the precipitous viewing platform overlooking it.

12. Reynisfjara Beach

With its inky black sand, rugged basalt columns and large crashing waves, Reynisfjara Beach can appear at times almost otherworldly. This gorgeous beach, which is also home to comical puffin birds, is located near the village of Vik on Iceland’s south coast.

Not surprisingly, this beach’s strange appearance has inspired at least one tale. According to local legend, the basalt sea stacks that can be seen in the ocean were formed when two trolls tried to drag a three-masted ship to the shore during the night. But they were unsuccessful and when the sun rose, the daylight turned the trolls to stone.

A word of warning — the raging waves at this beach can be very dangerous so tourists are warned to keep their distance.

Sprawling across a massive part of northern Iceland are the reflective waters of Lake Myvatn which has long been considered one of the world’s best places to birdwatch. Conveniently located right by the Ring Road, the volcanic area also has soothing natural baths and unusual looking lava fields for you to explore.

Formed around 2,300 years ago by a large basaltic lava eruption, the shallow lake is still surrounded by all kinds of fabulous volcanic landforms. Amidst its lava pillars and pseudocraters, you can spot hundreds of species of waterfowl such as tufted ducks, common loons and whooper swans.

As its name means ‘Midge Lake’ in Icelandic, make sure to bring insect repellent if you don’t want a miserable time constantly swatting mozzies away from your face. Somewhat similar to the mineral-rich Blue Lagoon, the Myvatn Nature Baths are heavenly to soak in while the Dimmuborgir lava fields also attract lots of attention.

10. Thingvellir National Park

Thingvellir is a protected national shrine that was the open-air site of Iceland’s parliament from the 10th to 18th century. Because of this, it holds a very important place in this country’s history.

Over the years, Thingvellir has also been the site of many large gatherings and celebrations. In June 1994, for instance, a celebration for the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Icelandic Republic was held at this site.

Thingvellier, which sits on the rift between the European and the American tectonic plates, is also known for its unique geological features. Today, Thingvellir, which was made a national park in 1930, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland.

9. Seljalandsfoss

In a country of what seems to be a million waterfalls, each mightier and more majestic than the last, Seljalandsfoss still manages to standalone. This is because visitors can actually walk behind its over 60-meter-high falls and gaze out at the jet white waters tumbling down before them.

Yet another of the South Coast’s standout sights, the ginormous glacier-fed waterfall lies just off the Ring Road, in between Hella and Vik. Although the colossal cliffs and Gljufrabui waterfall next to it already look impressive, the sizeable cave behind the falls is the reason why most people visit.

Due to its huge popularity, we’d recommend visiting either very early or late in the day so you miss all the crowds and tour buses. It’s also worth wearing something waterproof or bringing a towel and change of clothes as you could end up getting soaked on very windy days.

8. Husavik Whale Watching

Whale watching is one of the most popular things to do in Iceland. Husavik, which sits on Skjalfandi Bay, is considered to be one of the best places in the world to see whales. The waters of the bay are rich in plankton, which attracts large numbers of baleen whales that feed on the small organisms.

Some of the most common whales seen in Skjalfandi Bay are humpbacks, blue and minke, but many other species have also been seen near Husavik. In addition to whales, visitors should keep an eye out for the puffins. These adorable birds nest in large colonies in this area.

7. Vatnajokull Ice Caves

Visitors to Iceland have the opportunity to embark upon a very unique excursion — exploring ice caves that have been carved by rivers of meltwater deep underneath the Vatnajokull Glacier.

Inside of these caves, explorers will discover a mesmerizing world where they will be surrounded by surreal blue ice formations. In some areas, black volcanic ash trapped in the ice have created a ribbon effect against the blue.

Tours of these caves, which are also known as Crystal Caves, can only be done in the winter, as there is always a danger of collapse during the warmer summer and spring months, and visitors should only enter them with a trained guide.

6. Laugavegur Trail

One of the best ways to get to know Iceland is by foot on the Laugavegur. At 79 km (49 miles), Laugavegur is Iceland’s longest hiking trail, stretching from Landmannalaugar to Skogar.

This popular trail takes hikers through some of this country’s most gorgeous scenery and past geysers, glaciers, hot springs and waterfalls. Experts recommend that hikers plan on taking about five days to cover the trail if they want to enjoy it a leisurely pace.

It can, however, definitely be done in more or less time. Hikers can either pitch a tent along the way or rent one of the huts that can be found on the trail.

5. Haukadalur Geothermal Area

If you want to see steaming hot springs and spurting geysers, then the Haukadalur Geothermal Area is definitely the place to go. One of only a few such fascinating sites in the entire world, its smallish yet surreal valley can be found along the Golden Circle, not too far from Gullfoss.

Since the eighteenth century, tourists have flocked to see its otherworldly landscapes regularly erupt with boiling water bursting up into the air and mud pots bubbling away below. While the fountain-like Strokkur is very dependable and emits a column of water and steam roughly every five minutes or so, Geysir, from which we get the word, now only rarely erupts.

Keep your camera at the ready as the giant geysers and whispy smoke of all the fumaroles make for some marvellous photos and videos.

4. Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon is one of the first things that comes to most people’s minds when they think about famous tourist attractions in Iceland. This geothermal spa is located in Grindavik on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

The manmade lake is fed by superheated seawater vented from a nearby lava flow. Many people believe that its milky blue waters, which contain minerals, silica and algae, can actually soothe and improve certain skin conditions, such as eczema.

It is important to note that travelers who want to enjoy a dip in the Blue Lagoon should book well ahead of their visit. This attraction is so popular that it is often sold out.

3. Gullfoss

Gullfoss means Golden Falls, and it gets its name from the brownish hue of its water. These falls are truly magnificent and are known for being the largest volume falls in all of Europe.

It is also notable for having two distinct drops that are at right angles to each other. From the main overlook, the view is slightly obscured, so it appears as if the lower falls plunges away into an abyss. Today, it is hard to imagine that this popular tourist attraction was almost lost.

At one time, foreign investors proposed to build a hydroelectric powerplant on it. But a local woman fought vehemently against the project, even threatening to throw herself over the falls if the plant was constructed. Thankfully, her efforts paid off and Gullfoss was saved.

2. Watch the Northern Lights

Although Iceland boasts an almost endless list of amazing mountains and beaches, geysers, glaciers and volcanos, one of its top attractions is something that isn’t linked to an actual site. Also known as aurora borealis, the Northern Lights are an unpredictable natural phenomenon that you won’t forget in a hurry!

Predominantly seen in high-latitude regions, the swirling polar lights are created by solar winds and charged particles interacting with the Earth’s magnetic fields. In reality, this means that a bewitching display of different dancing colours are painted across the dark night’s sky.

Loads of tours take you out to see the unusual occurrence with the best times being between August and April during the colder, darker months of the year. Sure to be unlike anything you’ve ever seen before, watching the Northern Lights swirl about above was one of our favorite parts of our whole trip around Iceland.

1. Jokulsarlon Lagoon

Almost outdoing the spectacular natural light show are the ever-changing ice formations that bob all about the gorgeous Jokulsarlon Lagoon. Featured in films like Die Another Day and Tomb Raider, it is yet another of Vatnajokull National Park and the South Coast’s must-see sights.

Said to be the deepest lake in all the country, it lies at the head of the glistening Breidamerkurjokull glacier from which chunks of ice break off and slowly float around the bay. While some are big and blue, others are small and milky white with the lagoon’s shimmering surface and the snow around it only completing the picture-perfect scene.

Visitors can either hike along its shores, clamber about the glacier or take scenic boat trips amongst all the icebergs. What’s more, sleek seals can often be spotted swimming about or hanging out on its great chunks of drifting ice.

Iceland Map Explained for Tourists

• I am Reykjavik
• Uncategorized

I celand is a destination like no other in the world. On this island, located between Greenland and Norway, it is possible to enjoy natural phenomena such as geysers, geothermal waters, volcanoes , glaciers and waterfalls. Iceland, thanks to being the country with the lowest population density in all of Europe, offers unspoiled landscapes full of magic, impossible to find anywhere else in the world. Let’s discover where Iceland is on a map and all that this beautiful island has to offer!

Where is Iceland on the Map?

Iceland (Ísland, from its official name in Icelandic) is one of the smallest nordic countries in the world. However, it is also the second-largest island in Europe with a surface area of 103,000 km² (after Great Britain). It is located between the Greenland Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, south of the Arctic Circle. It’s is quite far away but well worth it. Its location, close to the mid-Atlantic ridge, means that it has intense volcanic activity and a large presence of geysers. 

Iceland Road Map

Iceland is known for its beautiful landscapes made up of ice and fire. First-time visitors will quickly notice that every region in Iceland deserves its reputation. With geysers, lava fields, and lakes where icebergs float, various parts of the country provide travellers with many changes of scenery. If you can, try to visit each of the following 8 regions of Iceland – the time spent exploring them is worth it.

The perfect starting point to discover the spirit of Iceland is Reykjavik. Located in the north-west of the country, it is considered the northernmost capital in the world. Due to its location, the wintertime only provides you with four hours of light per day, while, during summer, daylight outshines the light.

Initially, the Icelandic capital was a large Viking settlement, later a nerve centre for trade, and eventually, one of the most important whaling ship bases in the world. Today, Reykjavik is a city in which just over 120,000 people live. It means a third of the total population of the country.

Reykjavik is also a young and cosmopolitan city that receives many travellers per year. Its special charm consists of enjoying the life of its locals and the intense cultural commitment of the city (there are 9 museums). On the other hand, Laugavegur is the commercial street, where the main fashion and craft souvenir shops are located. Here you can buy the famous ‘Lopapeysa’ hand-knit Icelandic sweater.

Finally, very close to Skólavörðustígur, you will find the modern Lutheran church Hallgrímskirkja, the most famous monument in Reykjavik. Its high tower can be seen from anywhere in the city.

Reykjanes and the Blue Lagoon

The Reykjanes Peninsula is located in the southwest of Iceland, a few kilometres from Reykjavík and Keflavik International Airport. The island sediments are volcanic, so the whole area has a great geothermal activity that you can enjoy in every corner, for example, fumaroles, craters, lava fields, hot springs and of course, the famous Blue Lagoon thermal spa .

Additionally, in Reykjanes you can find small charming fishing villages and numerous coloured lighthouses that rise majestically off the coast. Also, the area is well-known for hosting the Keflavík International Airport, which was in the past a United States military base and eventually became a civilian facility. 

Western Iceland – Vesturland

Borgarnes is the capital of Vesturland. You can find the entire administrative and bureaucratic system of this sublime area. This city is very important for us in terms of History and cultural heritage. Hence, Western Iceland is one of our favourite places. Vesturland has a great variety of fauna and flora that will not disappoint: lava fields, snow-capped mountains and glaciers. One of the most famous places in the region is the Snaefellsnes peninsula, suitable for any kind of traveller. This region is known as “the Little Iceland” since it is a small sample of everything that the country has to offer. Therefore,  its landscapes will leave you speechless.

The West Fjords – Vestfirðir region

The West Fjords are located in the northwestern part of the Viking Island, off the coast of Greenland. It is a wild and mountainous region where you will feel like that time has stopped there. Its landscapes will take your breath away. The capital is Ísafjörður, which, as its name suggests, is located in the middle of a fjord. The views are beautiful around the region. Here, you can visit the Drangajökull glacier; the fifth largest in the country, see puffins in Látbrabjarg, climb a mountain or take a kayaking tour in its fjords. I assure it is worth it.

Eastern region – Austurland

The Austurland region is a wild and lonely area. In this area, you will find the Skaftafellsjökull and Eskifjorður glaciers. It is a perfect destination for those who want to be in the middle of nowhere and reconnect with nature. Among the activities you can do in Austurland, we recommend hiking trails, outdoor activities, extreme sports and all this with the advantage of having this region almost to yourself. The most populous city has only 2300 inhabitants.          

Northeast Region – Norðurland Eystra

The north-eastern region of Iceland is the Land of the Midnight Sun. It offers impressive sunsets in which the sun barely touches the sea before rising again. Its landscapes compete with its varied fauna. Beautiful specimens of seals and whales stand out, easily visible. The north is the perfect place to discover the little Icelandic horse and enjoy horseback riding tours in Iceland .

Akureyri is the capital of North Iceland, a small town with a lively cultural life, especially during the summer months. It is the second-largest city in Iceland behind Reykjavik with about 18,000 inhabitants. Akureyri is located at the end of the Eyjafjörður fjord, which is the longest fjord in the country.

Moreover, one of the most interesting places in North Iceland is Askja or Lake Mývatn. It is world known for its avian fauna and beautiful landscapes, full of dreamy colours.

Northwestern region – Norðurland Vestra

The capital of the Northwestern region is Sauðárkrókur, located on a fjord. It is an important fishing town and one of the largest in the north of the country. This area is mentioned in the Icelandic sagas as some Vikings arrived here in the 9th century. We recommend you to visit the island of Drang, it’s impressive.

South Iceland – Suðurland

South Iceland is the best known and most visited area in Iceland. If you spend a few days in the country, this is your dreamy route. The south of the island has different natural gems to visit. You cannot miss Vík and its black sand beaches , the impressive Selfoss waterfall or two of the most active volcanoes on the island: Hekla and Katla. Does the Golden Circle ring a bell? Well, it’s located here! 

Main Tourist Attractions in Iceland

The golden circle.

The Golden Circle route in Iceland is perhaps the most popular one among tourists visiting the Nordic country. The reason is quite simple. In just 1 or 2 days you will be able to see in a summarized way everything that Iceland can offer us. From large waterfalls, crystalline lakes, to geothermal areas where geysers, mud pools and volcanoes cannot be missed. 

The Golden Circle road route takes around 300 kilometres but, despite its length, it is quite feasible. The entire route is usually done in 1 day thanks to the long summer days where the sun never sets. This trip begins in the country’s capital, Reykjavík. You will take a comfortable road to Lake Þingvallavatn, the largest in the country. Its water is so cold and clear so you can look at the bottom of the lake through its crystal clear waters without losing visibility.

After driving around 45 minutes and travelling the 40 kilometres that separate the lake from the big city, you will find the most important points of the route of the Golden Circle in Iceland: The Thingvellir National park , Silfra, the Geysir geothermal area, the Gullfoss waterfall, the Kerið volcano and Reykjadalur with its hot springs.

The Ring Road

If you plan to get to know Iceland, it is essential to do it driving through the Ring Road. It is the best option, without a doubt, especially if you do not have much time. This main road is paved (except for one section in the southeast) goes around the entire island. 

Its 1,332 kilometres in length allow you to make a tremendous route and thus visit its main points of interest. If you want to explore the interior, you will have to drive on F-type roads in Iceland , which can only be accessed by off-road car.

Travelling to Iceland can be a unique experience. Volcanoes, waterfalls, geysers, glaciers, fjords, among other natural gems, are a daily reality in the Land of Fire and Ice. Our lovely Viking island is one of the most exciting nature destinations on the planet. There is no doubt that Iceland is a natural paradise where every spot you look at, you will find a place that will take your breath away. Pack your suitcase and get ready to visit the best tourist destination of 2021!
