A roundup of things to do in Iceland this month, as prepared by your always-ready-to-satisfy-themselves editors.
As far as official events go, April is a dead month. Spring is in the air and nobody wants to commit to being anywhere, at any time (except, perhaps, the pool — let’s say Saturday at noon?). So here are some suggestions to keep you busy this month:
- Traveller’s Day corresponds to the first day of summer on the Viking Calendar. Celebrate with cheap bus tours, fishing trips and family events. We like our Traveller’s Day like we like our women: warm and inexpensive.
- Go see some glaciers and rocks and things. Ok, it’s a shameless plug, but we know a few tour operators who will gladly show you around. Get on the bus.
- You can walk off your hangover (and the twelve hot dogs you ate yesterday) with a hike up Mount Esja. A 15 minute drive from the capital, Esja offers a relatively easy hike to the best views around.
- Find your next mad crush. In case you haven’t heard, Icelanders are rather good looking. And smart. And they don’t expect you to have great manners. You just may have a chance.
And hey — let’s be careful out there!

Erik,those tips are great and useful especial for new comers in Iceland , like my self. I closer to Esja, But let face it, it is rather boring to travel alone and Tour operators are costly. I really wished that Icelanders were outgoing as handsome as they are. So my comment here is that Icelanders are too much to themself,,,it is tough to make conservation with them.
