The Top 24 Best Holiday Destinations in December
REYKJAVIK, ICELAND
If you love cold weather and rugged wilderness, Iceland is probably on your bucket-list of places to visit. But how about its famous capital, Reykjavik? This city is surprisingly cosmopolitan given its compact size and distance away from mainland Europe, making it a destination unlike anywhere else on this list. Its colourful houses are reflected on the silvery sea surrounding the city, and its nightlife, food-scene and artistic vibe will give you plenty to get up to. Scour the coolest Icelandic bars for happy hour, shop in the quirky stores in Laugavegur (Reykjavik’s trendiest street) and dive straight into into the city’s love of literature and art by visiting its galleries and bookstores. And whether you’re into architecture or not, pay a visit to the Hallgrimskirkja – this cathedral looks like something out of Lord of the Rings.
