  • Skogafoss waterfall: one of the largest and most impressive waterfalls in Iceland, with a width of 25 meters and a drop of 60 meters. You can climb up to the top for a stunning panorama or hike along the river upstream.

  • Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon: a mesmerizing glacial lake filled with icebergs that calve from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. You can take a boat tour to get closer to the ice or watch the seals that often visit the lagoon.
  • Diamond Beach: a sparkling beach where the icebergs from Jökulsárlón wash up on the shore and create a contrast with the black sand. You can walk along the beach and see the ice chunks in different shapes, sizes and colors.

  • The iconic Games of Thrones 'Dragonglass Cave': a filming location for the popular TV show, where Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen shared a romantic moment. The cave is actually an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull, the largest ice cap in Europe, and you can explore it with a guide and special equipment.
