Midnight sun not the only reason to visit Iceland
Iceland in summertime offers endless daylight and a virtually limitless supply of things to do. People feel energised and spend as much time outdoors as they can. As a consequence, the majority of Iceland’s many events and festivals take place at this time of year.
Next on the list is Independence Day on 17 June, marking 65 years since Iceland gained full independence from Denmark. The day will be marked with concerts, street parties, acrobats and any number of other fun spectacles for every member of the family.
