Perfect Iceland Getaways

As most ambitious career women do, you probably have goals that extend out for a few years. You are not only driven but extremely determined to reach those goals and surpass them even. You do not mind the hard work, and even enjoy putting in all the long hours and the late nights at the office to make sure you crush your goals and situate yourself to where you want to be.  And you spend a large majority of your time driving back and forth to work, working until the wee hours of the night, constantly trying to get things done, taking work home with you most days, and then turning around and doing it all over again the next day.

Women who are ambitious like this often overlook one of the most vital things they need to take care of—themselves! They work so hard and end up getting burned out and can’t reach their goals. That is why it is so vitally important to take a week or two every year and go on a vacation away from work and the stresses of life so that you can rejuvenate and come back better than ever.

One of the best places to go on a vacation is to Iceland. This country is still wild at heart and is a land full of beauty, hot springs, tiny fishing towns with lovely people, and, of course, some great bars. And the best part is that Iceland has rental car companies, like LOTUS Car Rental, that can get you anywhere you want to go with ease. Below is a guide to some of the best  Iceland getaways  that will rejuvenate you and get you ready to take on the world once again.

The Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon is perhaps one of the most popular destinations to visit in Iceland. It has steaming hot springs and is located just 40 kilometers from Iceland’s capital. The waters are crystal blue and have so many minerals in them that they shimmer. While here you can relax with a massage in the water as well as luxury lounges and guided tours of the premises.

Gullfoss Waterfall

Gullfoss is one of the most frequently visited spots by tourists simply because of its majestic beauty. It is often considered to be one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world and the water goes over a 32-meter high crevice and down into steep rocks which give the waterfall the appearance of disappearing into nowhere. There are usually rainbows all over the area because of the way the water reflects the sun. The grassy hills and ridges in the summer make the area the perfect place to go hiking.

Myrdalsjokull Glacier Park

This is a national park to go to if you want to see a beautiful landscape covered in snow and ice no matter what time of year you travel in. The glacier park is essentially a vast field that spreads over hundreds of miles and is the fourth largest glacier park in the entire country. People flock to the park year-round to get a glimpse of the quicksand pools, valleys carved by the ice glaciers themselves, and the majestic glaciers themselves. It is a beautiful field to go hiking in and see large ridges and glaciers that you can’t find anywhere else in the world.

Reykjavik

For the tourist that is looking for a more urban city vibe where they can shop and find unique things to do at the same time, Reykjavik is the place to visit. It is a cross between a sophisticated downtown city and old timber homes. This city is an icon in Iceland as it offers history in many of its buildings, along with hearty vodka bars and fun taverns where you can go for a good time. The center of Reykjavik is pulsing with life while also offering the serene calmness of the ancient ruins that remain there and add to the beauty.

No matter where you decide to go in Iceland, whether it be a charming fish town, a larger city, or the gorgeous national parks, you are going to come away from your vacation feeling relaxed and rejuvenated and ready to get back to the work grind when you get home.
