Icelandic culture

If you are traveling in Iceland in September, you should know this is the time of year when the sheep gathering takes place. This is one of Iceland’s oldest cultural traditions, where farmers gather together with their families and friends to round-up the sheep.

It is no secret that the Snaefellsnes Peninsula is one of my favourite regions of Iceland. Snaefellsnes has everything Iceland has to offer. Beautiful mountains, moss covered lava fields, waterfalls, old volcano craters, clliffs, cute little town and even a glacier, Snaefellsjokull. This is where we went on an adventure.

Iceland, this once isolated cold island in the Atlantic, is today home to a great number of celebrations and festivals. There are all sorts of festivals taking place in Iceland, mainly in the summer: art, music, dance, food and camping festivals are held in Reykjavik and in almost every town in Iceland.

With its waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes, hot springs, lava fields and mountains, Iceland is a special place where you can still feel the connection with nature.
However, visiting Iceland is not only interesting for its nature and beautiful landscapes, but also because you have the chance to get to know Icelanders and their peculiar culture.

If you are planning your trip to Iceland and you are checking the internet for what to see and do, a Golden Circle tour is surely one of the first things you will read about and there is a reason for that: the Golden Circle is one of the most popular and beautiful destinations in Iceland and you really should not miss it, no matter how long your stay in Iceland is.
