Iceland is the land of ice and fire made reality, from volcanic landscapes of Thingvellir beside magnificent glaciers, but the name itself is what drew the producers here. The glacier lagoons, soothing hot springs, and frozen fields make this region the perfect setting for the world North of the Wall. Take a Game of Thrones tour from Reykjavik and see where King of the North, Jon Snow, and his merry band of adventures fought an army of Whitewalkers. Or stand atop the cliff where the Hound and Brienne had an epic duel.

One of the most notable sites is the Myvatn Nature Baths, or Grjotagia, where Ygritte and Jon Snow first expressed there love. If you’re staying in Akuyeri then you can take a quick day tour North of the Wall to the Myvatn Nature Baths, but a dedicated fan would relish the chance to spend 5 days touring Iceland its gorgeous natural scenery.
