Visiting Iceland in July
July is a month of long days and vibrant landscapes in Iceland, often called the "land of the midnight sun." With daylight stretching up to 20-21 hours, there's ample time to explore, and temperatures range comfortably from 50 F to 65 F (10 C to 18 C).
During this peak tourist season, Iceland buzzes with activity. From the famous sights of the Golden Circle driving route to the warm waters of the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, everything is in full bloom and operation.
With almost continuous daylight, visitors can embark on late-night treks, midnight sun photography sessions, or even late-evening dips in geothermal pools. Wildlife enthusiasts will also find July ideal for puffin and whale watching along the coast.
Whether it's the festivals, hiking and camping, or the unique all-night sun, July in Iceland offers a magical summer experience unlike anywhere else.
