One
of Iceland’s most beloved landscapes -- the Snaefellsnes
Peninsula.
|
Iceland
is one of the world's hippest destinations, offering a getaway
like none other.
And
it's closer than you think – and more fun than you’ve
ever dreamed of. This mid-Atlantic island is the USA’s
closest European neighbor. With a flight time from New York
only a jet lag-free 4.5 hours, you’re ready for action
as soon as you arrive. And no matter the season, there’s
always more than enough waiting for you to do.
The
chilliest thing about Iceland is its name! In January, the
average temperature in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital,
is higher than that in New York. And Iceland’s welcome
for tourists is always warm. Almost everyone speaks fluent
English and Icelanders aren’t really given to formalities.
After all, even the telephone directory lists people by their
first name.
Reykjavik
is a city where you’ll feel safe to walk the streets.
Cozy, charming, a “village feel” and friendly people.
But as much entertainment, action and things to do as a metropolis
of millions. And with all the modern conveniences, a high
quality of life and world-class services.
Even
so, it’s still only a 15-minute cab ride between downtown
and wild nature, where you’ll feel you’re the only
person on Earth.
When
traveling to Iceland in winter you should bring along clothing
similar to what you would wear at the same time of year in
the US northeast. For summer you might want to bring along
lightweight woolens, a windbreaker, sneakers and sturdy walking
shoes if you plan to go hiking. Always bring a swimsuit -
year round.
