Most Dreamy Places to Visit in Iceland

Madeleine Ray

After writing my previous list about where to become a fairy in Iceland, I decided to continue with that theme and include even more dreamy spots for the perfect Icelandic vacation escape from reality. I was lucky in high school to have made a lifelong friend with an Icelandic girl who always lets me stay with her as well as show me the most special parts of her small and enchanting country. Here are more ideas of what to do in Iceland, whether you dream of being a fairy or just want to enjoy natural landscapes, delicious drinks, and sustainable fashion.

An essential part of your trip to Iceland, feel like a real forest fairy amongst mossy ground, rainbows reflecting in the sun, and expansive nature surrounding you. This is a once in a lifetime experience, and truly worth the bus ride from Reykjavik, which honestly is just as enchanting with endless views of the diverse arctic nature.
