Iceland · Northern Europe
Reykjavík
Base camp for the most dramatic landscape in Europe.
Travellers come here for adventure, nature, nightlife and food.
When to go
Aim for June, May and April. Think twice about September, October and November — the wettest stretch of the year.

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.
