Trip Planning & Itineraries
9:08 AM Sunday, Nov 8
Partly cloudy. Chilly.
7 day forecast »
The country with the chilly name is rapidly becoming one of Europe's hottest destinations. Much of Iceland's popularity is due to its natural features, which include glaciers, hot springs, geysers, active volcanoes, portentous peaks and vast lava deserts.
In addition to its expansive landscape, it has a rich history and folklore tradition. However, Iceland's appeal is tempered by the most expensive prices in Europe. That doesn't mean it can't be visited on a shoestring, but it does mean that budget travelers will have to work a little harder.

If you're looking for more options than those below, take a look at this list of self catered holidays in Iceland.

Hotel Eddas are an interesting concept found throughout Iceland: The company takes over student residences while students are gone for the summer, and adds linens and necessary furnishings to convert them into nice hotels for summer tourists. Hotel Edda Akureyri is in the center of Iceland's "capital of the north," a great place for touring the northern coastline, fishing, and driving/hiking.
Hotel Bjork is a centrally located hotel in Reykjavik, but with a little more peace and quiet than you'll find at most of the centrally located hotels -- especially at night. However, it is still a only few minutes' walk from the city center and the main shopping street. The rooms are spacious and well decorated, and the adjoining restaurant is quite good.
