When to go to Iceland<\/b><\/h2>\n

Iceland\u2019s warmer months are June to August. For hiking and nature enthusiasts, this is the best time to visit, as all the trails and mountain roads are open. This certainly doesn\u2019t guarantee blue skies and sunshine, though, as Iceland\u2019s weather is notoriously unpredictable. Locals like to joke that if you don\u2019t like the weather, just wait five minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n
