When to go

June and July – the peak of Icelandic summer – are considered the high season months, when the weather is more favorable and Iceland's summer nature shows off with all its exuberance. August, September and May are the intermediate months.

If you want to experience Iceland during the winter, choose November or March when the light hours are already more considerable. Remember that, although many of the attractions may be inaccessible, you will be rewarded with an impressive predominance of snow and ice and you will have the island practically all to yourself, with no difficulty finding places in hotels or guest houses. 

The best months to enjoy Northern Lights are September and March, coinciding with the equinoxes.
