One of the most beautiful of Iceland attractions, the Kirkjufell Mountain nestles on the northern edge of the country’s Snæfellsnes peninsula. Known for its unique cylindrical shape, Kirkjufell is the country’s most photographed mountain. The climb to the top is fairly steep, but equally rewarding with its uninterrupted views of the surrounding glaciers and lakes. The unobstructed views to the sky offered by Kirkjufell also makes it best places in Iceland to watch the Northern lights from.
Location: Snæfellsnes peninsula
Best time to visit: Between May and August, when the Northern Lights are most frequent
