You can even descend 120 metres into a dormant volcano for an experience like no other. Their cities are almost impossible to pronounce, but you’ll be so speechless it won’t matter anyway.

Where to stay? The 101 Hotel looks like you’ve just stepped inside an apartment on The Block. It looks sensational, and it’s located close to the city’s best bars, restaurants and museums.

It's pretty tough to get anywhere in our @happycampers_ van because every 30 minutes we have to stop and enjoy the scenery in Iceland. If you plan to do the ring road too, don't cut yourself short and attempt in a few days. We'd say a bare minimum of a week. Just can't get enough of these landscapes and waterfalls!
