Off-Season Iceland - 2009-2010
Iceland
is a special place to visit during the off-season months of
November through April
Off-Season Independent Travel:
You
can travel to Reykjavík from one of Icelandair’s US east
coast gateways on a short 4 to 5 hour flight and settle into your cozy
and comfortable accommodations in the charming Scandinavian city of Reykjavík
by the sea and go from there – many day tours are available for
pre-booking, visit Reykjavik's famous geothermal outdoor pools for a dip
and a chat with local Icelanders even when snow is in the air.

US Winter Schedule
Check
out the many galleries and museums or spend a day shopping in the fashion and jewelry
boutiques on Laugavegur. Have dinner enjoying some of the world’s
best seafood and lamb at one of Reykjavik's many world-class restaurants
and then dive into the crazy downtown nightlife – if that’s
for you.
If you would prefer to use Reykjavík as a base or split your time between the city and a location in southwest Iceland, we can work up a customized travel plan with flights, local airport transport, accommodations, a rental car ( if needed), many day tours to choose from and plenty of information about what to do and see in Reykjavík.
If you wish to split your time between the city and the countryside, please review this sample itinerary as a suggestion: Meet Iceland sample itinerary: 6 days. An alternative, if you have the time, is to spend 3 nights in the city, 2 or 3 nights at Hótel Rangá in south Iceland (see image above) and then your last night at the ultra modern and comfortable Blue Lagoon accommodations - located just 15 minutes from the international airport.
