April is a great month to visit Iceland. It’s the last month to see the northern lights before it starts getting too bright, and it’s a great time for skiing! Plus, there are plenty of cool events going on. Here are some ideas on how to spend this April in Iceland.
While you’re checking things off the list, we encourage you to take photos, and tag them with #whatsonrvk, of course!
