Things to Do in Reykjavik in March

Crystal Ice Cave Tour

The Crystal Ice Cave Tour at the Vatnajökull glacier is a fantastic winter experience in the Southern part of Iceland. Standing inside an ancient glacier and looking up to see all the shades of blue is fascinating and slightly surreal as it isn't something you see everyday. Photographers will absolutely love this tour. The stunning phenomenon is a must see for anyone visiting Iceland in the winter months.

Remember to bring a warm waterproof jacket and pants, hiking boots, headwear and gloves. Take into consideration the drive is 4.5 hours from Reykjavik, in best conditions. We recommend spending the night if the weather conditions are bad. 

Northern Lights

The Northern Lights are a must see in Iceland and if you're visiting in March you're in with a chance of seeing them. They are formed from electrically charged particles from the sun colliding with gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere; this causes bright, colourful lights that practically dance in the sky. Seeing the lights is both magical and unique for all ages. Look out for white, green, pink and purple colours in the sky and don't forget your camera or phone to capture your special experience.

Harpa

Ultra modern Harpa is both a concert hall and a conference centre opened in 2011. The building features a distinctive coloured glass facade, influenced by the landscape of Iceland. There is always a lot of live performances going on here so have a look before your trip and book something in; or turn up on the day and see what's on.
