In this episode of the Travel Squad Podcast, we take you on an unforgettable journey through the land of fire and ice —beautiful Iceland. Our adventure begins in the vibrant capital city of Reykjavik, where we marvel at the iconic Hallgrimskirkja Church, stroll down the colorful Rainbow Road, and take in the stunning Sun Voyager sculpture along the waterfront. From Reykjavik, we venture into the heart of Iceland's Golden Circle. At Thingvellir National Park, we explore the fascinating geological formations and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of the Silfra Fissure. Continuing along the Golden Circle, we witness the power of Geysir Strokkur's eruptions and the majestic beauty of Gullfoss Waterfalls. As we head towards the southern coast, we base ourselves in the charming village of Vik. Here, we encounter some of Iceland's most spectacular natural wonders. We hike to the top of Skogafoss for breathtaking views, walk behind the cascading waters of Seljalandsfoss and Gljúfrabú, and observe puffins up close at Dyrholaey's sea cliffs. Our exploration of the southern coast includes the dramatic black sand beaches of Reynisdrangar, the stunning Fjadrargljufur Canyon, the hidden gem of Mulagljufur Canyon, and the enchanting Svartifoss waterfall. The journey culminates with a visit to the famous Diamond Beach and the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, where we take a thrilling zodiac boat tour to get up close to the icebergs and glaciers. Tune in to hear our experiences, tips, and recommendations for making the most of your Icelandic adventure.

Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, visiting Iceland during Pride is an unforgettable experience. This guide will delve into why you should consider timing your visit to coincide with Reykjavík Pride, what events to look forward to, and what else you can enjoy in Iceland during August. Why Visit Iceland During Pride in Reykjavík? Reykjavík Pride, or "Hinsegin Dagar" in Icelandic, is a week-long festival held every August that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community. This event is not just a parade but a full-fledged festival filled with various activities that cater to all ages and interests. Here are several reasons why visiting during Pride is a fantastic idea: Inclusivity and Celebration Reykjavík Pride is a testament to Iceland's progressive and inclusive society. The country is known for its acceptance and support of LGBTQ+ rights, being one of the first countries to legalize same-sex marriage in 2010. The Pride festivities reflect this spirit of inclusivity, making everyone feel welcome and celebrated. A Vibrant Parade in Downtown Reykjavík The highlight of Reykjavík Pride is undoubtedly the parade. Held on the second Saturday of August, the parade attracts thousands of locals and visitors who line the streets to watch the colorful and joyous procession.Expect to see an array of floats, performers, and enthusiastic participants showcasing their support for the LGBTQ+ community. The parade route winds through downtown Reykjavík, making it accessible and easy to join in on the fun. It starts at Hallgrímskirkja church and ends at Hljómskálagarðurinn for a big concert and speeches. Family-Friendly Events Reykjavík Pride is not just for adults; it's a family-friendly event with activities for all ages. There are special events designed for children, such as the Family Rainbow Festival, which includes face painting, games, and entertainment for the little ones. This inclusive approach ensures that everyone, regardless of age, can participate in the celebrations. Cultural and Educational Programs In addition to the parade, Reykjavík Pride offers a variety of cultural and educational events. These include film screenings, panel discussions, art exhibitions, and workshops that delve into LGBTQ+ issues and history. These programs provide a deeper understanding of the community's struggles and triumphs, making the festival both fun and enlightening. Parties and Concerts For those looking to party, Reykjavík Pride doesn't disappoint. The week is packed with concerts, club nights, and after-parties that feature local and international artists. The Pride Opening Party and the Official Pride Dance are particularly popular, offering a chance to dance the night away with new friends. Kiki's Queer bar downtown is a great place to party but there are plenty of other bars to celebrate during this time. What Else to Do in Iceland in August While Reykjavík Pride is a significant draw, there's plenty more to explore in Iceland during August. Here are some activities and sights you shouldn't miss: Explore Reykjavík The capital city, Reykjavík, is a hub of culture and history. Take a stroll down Laugavegur, the main shopping street, where you can find unique boutiques, cafes, and street art. Visit the iconic Hallgrímskirkja church, which offers panoramic views of the city from its tower. Don't forget to check out the Harpa Concert Hall and the Sun Voyager sculpture along the waterfront. Experience Icelandic Nature Iceland's natural beauty is breathtaking, and August is the perfect time to experience it.
