3 Nights - Klettur Hotel, Iceland

Most holidays to Iceland start in the capital, Reykjavik; where you’ll find quaint Nordic charm and quirky culture in equal measure. While the art museums, shops, and city sights will provide enough entertainment for a short break; heading to the countryside is the best way to understand the people and culture. It’s incredibly easy with an abundance of excursions and day trips on offer, or you can even hire a car as roads are relatively quiet and easy to navigate.

Something truly special about Iceland is that the geothermal activity is harnessed across the country, so you’ll find ‘hot spots’ everywhere – from downtown Reykjavik to the more isolated Westfjords. Think of these open-air hot tubs more like bars; a place to socialise and get to know some locals for an authentic experience.
