Your ticket to the Highlands

In a land filled with geological wonders, an untouched wilderness and vast open spaces, it makes sense that hiking is a favourite activity among the locals. Some of Iceland’s most popular hiking trails are in the south of Iceland, in and around the Þórsmörk area. These trails are highly recommended for their extraordinary beauty, glorious views and diversity in landscapes.

If you want to explore the highlands on your own, you can book the highland bus from Reykjavík to the interior. There are three main destinations to choose from: Skógar, Þórsmörk and Landmannalaugar.
