5 reasons why you must visit Southern Iceland

Iceland has become a much more popular destination in recent years – and deservedly so! Its landscapes are absolutely jaw-dropping, it offers out of this world scenery and, of course, the Northern Lights. Many people visit Iceland as a long weekend and base themselves in Reykjavik, doing the Golden Circle Tour and visiting the Blue Lagoon. This is a fantastic trip but if you can find a couple more days you can explore Southern Iceland and take jaw-dropping to a whole new level!

To really get the most out of Southern Iceland I so highly recommend that you hire a car. It is incredibly easy to drive around Iceland – there is one main road and everything is very clearly signed. As Iceland is so extraordinary there are many places to visit off the main road that would be major tourist attractions in other countries but are hardly mentioned in guidebooks! A car gives you access to these.

I would also suggest picking your car up at Keflavik airport…
