Celebrating New Year's Eve in Reykjavík, the Capital City of Iceland

The whole Icelandic nation goes wild on New Year's Eve in Iceland. We love shooting fireworks and you will notice that from around 8 pm, we start slowly shooting some fireworks - then everything will be dead calm from 10:30 - 11:30 pm as the whole nation watches an Icelandic TV comic show Áramótaskaupið - "Skaupið" for short, which is an Icelandic satire on the events of the year. The view of Reykjavík from the top of my mother-in-law's block of flats I have been getting a lot of questions from visitors about where they can watch this show. It is in Icelandic, but if you want to join us

A Local's Guide to the Golden Circle Tour in Iceland

The first tour I joined when I started writing travel-blogs here on Guide to Iceland many years ago, was the most popular tour in Iceland: the Golden Circle tour. There are many variations of the Golden Circle tour available, and I can recommend being guided by a local for the best experience. There are so many beautiful places in Iceland and interesting things to do, but the Golden Circle is where I take all my foreign friends which I show around my country. Join me for a tour of the Golden Circle :) Top photo: Þingvellir National Park in autumn Þingvellir National Park Lögberg The f

The lovely Húsavík - the Whale Watching Capital of Iceland

When travelling in North Iceland, I would recommend visiting the lovely town of Húsavík on the Tjörnes peninsula, and maybe joining a whale-watching tour as Húsavík has been nicknamed the Whale watching capital of Iceland. And now Húsavík has become famous for the film The Eurovision Song Contest: the Story of the Fire Saga. Húsavík is also the town where my grandmother was born, so it is very dear to me.

Tungustapi in Sælingsdalur - the Church of the Elves in West-Iceland - Icelandic Folklore

While travelling in Sælingsdalur Valley in West Iceland you will notice a hill called Tungustapi. This hill is also called Álfakirkjan or the Church of the Elves, and some believe it to be the Cathedral of the Elves! Álfar is the Icelandic term for elves. There are many places here in Iceland named after the elves and the hidden people of Iceland, and there is still some belief amongst Icelanders that we share Iceland with these hidden people. Top photo: Tungustapi Tungustapi as seen from Guðrúnarlaug Many psychics have seen these hidden people of Iceland and there are many tales avail

The amazing Mývatn & Krafla Area in North-Iceland - a Compilation of the wonderful Sights

Way up in North Iceland you will find the amazing Mývatn area. Visiting it is like stepping into another world and I love spending time up there. Here you will find mud pools, a lunar-like landscape, pseudo craters, lava pillars, the Mývatn Naturebaths, a lake inside a volcanic crater and the amazing Dimmuborgir - Dark Fortress, to name just a few interesting places in Mývatn. Not to forget an adventurous visit to the lava cave Lofthellir, where you will have to squeeze through a small hole to see the wonders inside, which include the biggest ice sculptures in any known cave in Iceland.

Viking Areas in Iceland - Eiríksstaðir Long House in West Iceland and Leifur the Lucky

Have you ever wanted to see how the Vikings lived? You will get the opportunity to do so in West Iceland, where you will find a hypothesis Viking longhouse. It is called Eiríksstaðir and I visit it every time I travel to this area. I feel like I am stepping back in time when I visit this longhouse. Top photo: Eiríksstaðir back in 2015 Eiríksstaðir in 2010 The Vikings started coming over to Iceland to settle here in around the year 874, give or take a couple of years. So naturally, there are many areas in Iceland that are rich in Viking history. And Eiríksstaðir in West Iceland is

Guðrúnarlaug Hot-tub - the Saga Hot-tub in Sælingsdalur Valley in West Iceland

Guðrúnarlaug Hot-tub - the Saga Hot-tub in Sælingsdalur Valley in West Iceland

Seeing that Iceland is a volcanic island then you will find several hot pools in Iceland with natural geothermal water. There is one in particular that I like, called Guðrúnarlaug hot tub. It is in an area of West-Iceland which is a pure Viking area. Top photo: Guðrúnarlaug and the changing room Visiting Guðrúnarlaug in 2010 A landslide fell on the original hot tub so the original "laug" hot pool of Guðrún had been closed for 140 years, as it were. A replica of the original hot pool was made close to where the other pool was and built to the liking of what we believe the hot pools
