If seeing the Northern lights is on your bucket list, winter is the best time of year to see them. The most convenient location with direct flights from Dublin is Iceland.
Iceland is such an exciting destination, with a unique blend of natural wonders including volcanoes, glaciers, hot springs, waterfalls and geysers. People generally stay three or four nights but a longer stay is ideal for anyone interested in exploring this stunning landscape.
