Iceland travel advice from someone who actually lives here

I’m Jón, a native Icelander who has called Reykjavík home for over 30 years. Since 2012, I’ve run this magazine like a knowledgeable local friend would —giving you honest advice, real discounts from 50+ partners in the Icelandic travel industry, and 200+ expert interviews you won’t find anywhere else. This is Iceland from the inside.
