Book Iceland Epic - ASSOULINE

Although Iceland is known as a land of fire and ice, the country and its people have an astonishingly warm and welcoming presence—wrapped in cozy wool sweaters and accompanied by endless summer light.

With breathtaking landscapes, folkloric tales, countless hot springs, and contemporary Icelandic music, Iceland is a true paradise for culture lovers in search of adventure. An ideal starting point is the Golden Circle, a route that takes you through Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss waterfall, and the Geysir geothermal area—just a taste of the many wonders scattered across the country. Whether it's a helicopter flight over glaciers or an overnight stay in a glass-walled villa under the Northern Lights, a trip to Iceland is unforgettable.

In Reykjavík, Nordic design meets a vibrant creative scene: avant-garde restaurants like Dill, experimental music festivals like Airwaves, and above it all, the striking silhouette of Hallgrímskirkja, the city's largest church. This country has shaped artists such as Björk and Ásmundur Sveinsson, whose avant-garde works reflect the untamed beauty and almost supernatural pulse of Iceland. Beyond the city, grass-covered turf houses and steaming hot springs tell of a life in harmony with nature. Unlike any previous title in the Assouline Travel Series, Iceland Epic invites you on a journey into a whole new world.
