Best Places to Visit in Iceland

REYKJAVÍK

The largest city of Iceland is also the world's northernmost capital. Here, pollution is barely present as the lack of factories.

Hallgrmur Church, Hofdi House, and whale-watching cruises are some of its well-known highlights. Located 39 kilometers from Reykjavik, the Blue Lagoon is a well-known tourist site that is a sizable region of hot springs created by volcanic activity. Its water has a milky blue appearance and is useful for healing skin conditions. The Blue Lagoon is also an excellent site to watch the sunset with the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
