Principali attrazioni in Islanda

Iceland's Editor's Choice

Iceland’s diverse landscape features the 60-meter Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where visitors can walk behind the cascade, and the deep Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon carved during the last Ice Age. Geological highlights include the tectonic rift at Silfra, the Bridge Between Continents on the Reykjanes Peninsula, and the active Hekla and Snæfellsjökull stratovolcanoes. Coastal landmarks range from the iceberg-filled Jökulsárlón lagoon to the bird-watching cliffs of Látrabjarg. In Reykjavik, the Harpa Concert Hall showcases contemporary glass architecture inspired by basalt landscapes.
