The land of fire and ice, Iceland cannot fail to impress with its natural beauty. Family travel in Iceland could not be easier. Hire a car and explore the epic, other-worldly landscapes.

There are lava fields and geysers, glaciers and volcanoes, waterfalls and black sand beaches. If you’re lucky, you might catch a sighting of the Northern Lights.

Its interesting history starts with the Viking settlement in the 9th century and today it is a shining example of sustainability.

It definitely falls into the bucket list category and best of all, contrary to popular belief, it’s possible to do Iceland on a budget.

Just want to visit for a weekend? Here are the best things to do in Reykjavik with kids.
