Iceland
One of our top destinations in Europe is Iceland.
Iceland is not only closer than you think, but far different than you ever imagined. Where else can you witness such marvels of Mother Nature as a tremendous icecap and several glaciers, spouting geysers and steaming solfataras, volcanoes (hopefully dormant), raging rivers and magnificent waterfalls, a multitude of birds, cavorting whales just offshore and many other surprises. Summers are surprisingly warm and winters not as cold as you might expect. Regardless of when you visit, be assured that the warmth shown by Icelanders, their desire to share their culture and the efforts made to make your stay as pleasant as possible will, like the spectacular landscape, never be forgotten.
ICELAND HAILED AS A BEST-VALUE DESTINATION FOR 2010!
Quincy, MA, November 6, 2009 - The highly acclaimed travel guide, The Lonely Planet, announced their Top 10 value picks for 2010 this week with Iceland and London topping the list. Since the economic crisis hit Iceland last year, the strong U.S. Dollar against the Icelandic Krona has made Iceland a great value destination, with exchange rates nearly three times what they were last year.
The Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2010 highlights the world's hottest travel trends, destinations, and journeys for the year ahead tapping the resources and expertise of Lonely Planet authors, staff and travelers.
"Have you always wanted to discover this magical, mysterious country? To explore ice caps and volcanoes, and wallow in hot springs? Been put off because of the prohibitive prices? Well, 2010 is your year. The favorable exchange rate means that travelers will often find hotels and meals up to half the price they were a few years ago," reads The Lonely Planet Top Destinations for 2010 guide.
