Iceland’s untamed wilderness is unlike almost anywhere else on earth. Just outside the Arctic Circle, nestled between Norway and Greenland, the island experiences short days, long nights and deep snow for half of the year. The other six months are a celebration of light – a never-ending summer’s day, where the whole country bathes in the glow of the midnight sun.
You can choose which season you want to experience when you fly to Iceland with British Airways. It’s best to visit in winter if you want to see the Northern Lights or sink into the warm waters of the Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa powered by Iceland’s volcanic activity and natural hot springs. In summer the snow melts, allowing visitors to hike through the Highlands and see whales leaping from the water. Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, is fun to explore during either season, but the warmer weather brings festivals, museums visits and dinner plans without the winter storms. For a trip like no other, book your holiday to Iceland today.
Your journey to Iceland includes a connecting flight departing from London. Your flight from London to Iceland will take three hours and 15 minutes.
British Airways flies to Iceland from London Heathrow.
Winter and summer are the most popular times of year to visit Iceland, so look for flights in spring or autumn to see if you can save.
It depends on what you’re looking for out of your trip. Iceland is famous for its winter adventures, but summer visits offer up a totally different side to the island. You can get cosy after your outdoor activities in the colder months, or, rent a car from mid-May to mid-August to spend almost unlimited daylight hours visiting waterfalls, beaches and even a volcano.
There are plenty of ways to make your trip to Iceland fit your budget. Plan your itinerary before you go and book trips in advance to save. If you’re keen to explore on your own time, renting a car could help you manage your budget, so you can spend it on the cost of activities when you arrive. You can also visit the supermarkets and take packed lunches on adventures.
The easiest way to get around Iceland is by renting a car, or a camper van in the summer if you want to do as much exploring as possible. In the warmer months there are also buses to get you from A to B, even if B is on the other side of the country. If you’re staying in Reykjavik, you can get around on foot or by bus.
The unforgettable scenery in Iceland is so unique. Soak up the sight of bubbling geysers, geothermal pools and active volcanoes, before looking up at the sky to see the glorious Northern Lights. Then there’s the trendy capital Reykjavik, which is packed with unique museums and an exciting nightlife scene.
