2Reykjavik, Iceland
Winter in Reykjavik, Iceland, offers a chance to experience some of the planet’s most stunning natural phenomena.
The long nights bring excellent opportunities to see the Northern Lights, while snow blankets the dramatic volcanic landscape. Visitors can enjoy the famous Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa surrounded by snow and lava fields, or go on excursions to frozen waterfalls, glaciers, and ice caves.
Reykjavik’s vibrant downtown area, with its cozy cafes, art galleries, and local boutiques, is perfect for warming up after a day of winter adventures.

We, of course, have our opinion of what makes the grade and we present them here in our list of the best paintings of all time.
