“Best of Iceland” is an extensive and informative book about the Icelandic tourism industry. It contains articles from the first 54 issues of Icelandic Times magazine, as well as a number of brand-new articles on nature, natural wonders, birds and wildlife, towns and villages, museums and galleries, swimming pools, activities, curiosities, accommodation, restaurants, design and handicraft—and the endless, exciting possibilities available to our guests. From winter wonders with the Northern Lights to the summer season with the Midnight Sun, whether it is fishing, sailing, horse-riding, skiing, snowmobiling, adventure tours, hiking, mountaineering, river-rafting, glacier tours, hang-gliding, or just plain relaxation in the tranquil nature, here you will find the best possibilities on offer in Iceland.
The book travels clockwise around Iceland, starting in Reykjavík—at 08:00—with maps for villages, towns, and greater areas. There is vast information on each of the ten main areas, their specialties, and points of interest: Reykjavík, the West Coast, the Westfjords, the North-West, the North-East, the East, the South-East, the South, the South-West, and, of course, the Highlands. The tourism industry is an ever-growing field, and thus we do not claim to give a complete account of the possibilities—but we are close.
You can be pretty sure you’ll find everything you need in this book.
