The time of year you visit Iceland will have a huge impact on the sights and activities available to you. Around the end of June, the sun rises as early as 2:55 a.m., and it sets just before midnight, giving summertime tourists about 21 hours of sunshine. From May through September, you may enjoy comfortable temperatures averaging in the 50s and 60s. The months of July and August see the highest numbers of tourists. The longer days in summer are a big lure for tourists to Iceland, but the winter months still have a lot to offer.

Short days and a deluge of rain characterize winter, which lasts from October until early March. In spite of its reputation, Iceland is not an uncomfortably frigid place to visit. The mercury will struggle to get beyond 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Around the winter solstice in December, daylight lasts for fewer than four hours, which may be a problem for tourists who go far from the city of Reykjavik and its well-lit streets. Nonetheless, the total lack of light makes for great savings and prime Aurora Borealis views. In the shoulder seasons, you may save up to 30 percent on airfare, and many other businesses also offer lower rates. Several of the most visited places in the nation will also have much less visitors.
