Tour Details

The Harpa, Reykjavik

March Madness in Iceland - Northern Lights, Geological Wonders & Brahms

March is a great time to visit Iceland. The days will be getting longer, but you can still see the Northern Lights. At 65° N on the southern edge of the Arctic Circle, Iceland is one of the best places in the world to see the aurora borealis. Don't miss this unique opportunity to view the dynamic patterns of brilliant lights as well as visiting some of Iceland's most spectacular geological sites. The musical offering is Bertrand de Billy leading the Iceland Symphony Orchestra in Brahms' A German Requiem in the Harpa. Chosen as one of the best concert houses of the new millenium by Gramophone in 2010, the Harpa is one of Reykjavík’s most striking landmarks and a centre of cultural and social life in the very heart of the city.  (March 12-18, 2022)
