The Only Reykjavik, Iceland Summer Guide You Need to Know
When we started planning our 2024 Freedonism experience, we knew there could only be one contender for the destination of a lifetime. An Iceland Summer.
It’s one of the few destinations in the world that we would keep coming back to – no matter what. One of the best places to experience the freedom to be and live as you truly are.
Reykjavik, Iceland.
But isn’t Iceland always freezing cold?
That’s one of the biggest misconceptions about Iceland. Not because ice is in the name means that it’s winter 365 days of the year.
In fact, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Though Iceland is known for its cold temperatures, the summers are mild and pleasant.
Especially in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital city. In the summer, it’s an experience unlike any other. You’ll find a place where nature and culture intertwine in a dance that lasts 24 hours a day.
And when you go off the beaten path? It’s a magical trip that brings your dreams and freedoms to life.
Here are just a few of the magical experiences waiting for you on a trip to Iceland (especially in August).
