Top Reasons Why You Should Visit Iceland

Top Reasons Why You Should Visit Iceland

Even the most experienced travelers will assert that Iceland is incomparable to any other country on the planet. The incredible beauty and strength of its natural elements make Iceland unique and vibrant.

Why should you be planning tours to Iceland? Here are some reasons:

Northern Lights

Due to its exceptional geographical position, Iceland Tour is one of the best tours in the world to experience the aurora borealis. These mystical solar lights impressed anyone who has seen them for thousands of years. It is an indescribable spectacle of nature that you will not be able to forget.

Fantastic landscapes

Iceland has recently become a popular destination for directors to film their blockbusters. The country has been the location of famous films such as James Bond, Batman Begins, and Oblivion with Tom Cruise and even Games of Thrones. The lunar landscapes, ice lagoon, and other wonders, are indeed helping to make the country the ultimate travel destination.

The divine natural hot springs

What would Iceland be without its natural hot springs? Adored by both visitors and locals, hot springs are places where everyone can revel in and appreciate the beauty of the present moment. Even better! You can enjoy it throughout the year and literally everywhere, given that there are hundreds scattered across the country.

The adventure!

Planning tours to Iceland bring together the finest treasures of our planet earth: volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls, small Scandinavian fishing villages, fjords, desert, black sand beaches etc. en route for adventure! You can also fully appreciate these Landscapes during a horseback riding on a typical Icelandic horse or during a hike on the most typical trail of the Land Mannalaugar world.

Nature in its pure state

Pure water, fresh air and geothermal activity that respect the environment make Iceland as the ideal destination to absorb all the strength and beauty of nature.

Its capital city Reykjavik

Its capital, Reykjavik, is absolutely charming, pleasant, sure, trendy and bubbling with energy! The city is full of colorful Norse houses, stylish cafes and charming local shops. Moreover, the architectural jewel of the Harpa, the beautiful bay, and the dominant Esja Mountain contribute to add an irresistible magic to the atmosphere of Reykjavik.

The Icelandic geniuses

Icelanders are happy people! Iceland has been one of the top 10 countries in the world for years. This is not surprising, given that the country is based on a developed economy, an excellent health system, long-established peace and a much-unpolluted environment. The icing on the cake is also the most egalitarian country in the world for women!

It’s not so cold!

Due to its geographical position, there is a tendency to think that Iceland is a very cold country. This shot needs to be wiped out right away. The current flow of the Golf Stream, which originates in the Caribbean, flows to the Icelandic coast, which contributes to greatly moderate its climate throughout the year. As a result, in winter the temperature in Iceland rarely falls below -5 degrees. So you can be assured that it is much, much, colder in Montreal or New York!

Bucket List: The Ancient and Magical Kingdom of Morocco

Bucket List: The Ancient and Magical Kingdom of Morocco

There are so many amazing places to visit in the world, but just about everyone who travels to the ancient Kingdom of Morocco raves about their experience.

Morocco is a mix; it’s full of Roman ruins and World Heritage sites. It’s got thousands of miles of coastline along the Atlantic and Mediterranean. The High Atlas Mountains are a wild swath of rugged adventure land; the Berbers who are the indigenous people of North Africa have lived in those mountains for 10,000 years. And of course, there’s the mystical Sahara Desert… no-mans realm of nomads and spice traders.

It’s also completely modern with five star hotels, world famous restaurants, nightclubs, universities and endless shopping for magnificent, colorful, artful decorations.

15 years ago, the airports had squat toilets and the Berbers in the mountains had no running water or electricity, but all that has changed. Unless you travel far off-grid, you will experience the comfort of the Western world in regards to accommodations, food, entertainment and the necessities of life.

That being said, you have myriad options to choose from; you will be welcomed to sleep and eat with a Berber family if you so desire, or you may opt to enjoy the comforts of countless gated golf resorts along the ocean.

There are activities for every personality. Golfing on exquisite courses… shopping in an ancient souk… trekking the Sahara on a camel… windsurfing… cooking classes… off-roading… mountain climbing… and so much more. Morocco has in fact become a sort of “playground of the wealthy” because it is relatively affordable and convenient to Europe, the Middle East and New York.

One of the reasons to visit Morocco is the incredible diversity of humanity that you encounter. As a flight hub for both Europe and Africa, there are sub-populations of West African, Chinese, Indian, French, middle Eastern, Jewish and increasingly American people. Casablanca and Marrakesh have become melting pots where it’s now just as convenient to get burgers, pizza and sushi as it is a chicken tagine or lamb couscous.

(Sometimes, while traveling, one gets tired of local food and craves a taste of home!)

The geography of Morocco is somewhat similar to California. The High Atlas Mountains, a natural barrier to European invaders, also acts as a barrier to the Sahara Desert. West of the mountains is pure agriculture, all the way to the ocean. Oranges, olives, almonds, grapes… it has literally become a food basket for Europe and more often the US (as the population rejects California radiation contaminated food).

Moroccan wine is of the highest quality and there’s plenty of it! However it’s difficult to find Moroccan wine in other parts of the world; it’s said that this is because Moroccans drink it all!

Vietnam: Major Tourist Destinations

Vietnam: Major Tourist Destinations

A world where history is compelling and hues are vibrant; Vietnam is a charming destination for tourists from all corners of the world. It’s utterly beautiful, astonishingly mysterious, and home to a wealth of compelling destinations.

This strikingly beautiful country is a result of years of internal combustion and turmoil, and agile transformation. Since the appalling savagery and slaughter induced by the American War, Vietnam, as a resilient nation, has come back to life and is jaunty in hope. And it wouldn’t be wrong to address the resolute nation as a phoenix risen from the ashes.

Vietnam is full of unexpected, unforgettable experiences. Anyone visiting the country for the first time would be overwhelmed by the sensory overdose varied geography, delectable cuisine, bountiful shopping sites and never-ending beaches.

Let’s delve a little further into Vietnam’s confines and see what the world is gaga about. Take a look at some of the best tourist attractions in Vietnam:

1. Hanoi: Hanoi is a rapidly growing city which has served as Vietnam’s capital for over a thousand years. Trips and tours to Vietnam often begin this beautiful Indochinese colonial city. Hanoi is a proud city which boasts of pagodas, lakes, dynastic temples, heritage monuments and French-era villas. It has, however, remained true to its elemental personality despite the tide of change.

2. Ha Long Bay: For many tourists, a trip to Vietnam is incomplete without Ha Long Bay, which represents a pinnacle of their Vietnam experience. Contrary to Hanoi, this is the perfect countermeasure to contemporary ebullience which Hanoi provides and renders the visitors with numerous opportunities for leisure and recreation in its chartreuse waters.

3. Cat Ba Island: Cat Ba Island is a mountainous getaway nestled on the periphery of Ha Long Bay. Defining Ha Long Bay’s southwestern limits, the island expands over 350 square kilometers and is one of the best destinations in Vietnam.

4. Ho Chi Minh: Along with Hanoi, this city provides a dizzying introduction to Vietnam. Set beside the Saigon River, Ho Chi Minh is the largest city in Vietnam and perhaps, the most exciting too. A high-octane city of culture and commerce, the city is buzzing with energy and breathes life into each and everyone who chooses to traverse through its soil.

What to do in Vietnam?

All the major tourist destinations in Vietnam offer a number of short tours and activities. Apart from that, you could choose:

  • Underwater diving in Phu Quoc Island and Nha Trang
  • Kitesurfing in Mui Ne
  • Trek around Sapa
  • Enjoy food walks and cooking courses in Hanoi, Hoi An and Saigon
  • Visit historic sites and ruins at Nha Trang, Mui Ne, Phan Rang Thap Chan and My Son
