Hello! Rates Iceland Most Romantic Winter Destination
Hello! magazine labeled Iceland “winter’s hottest new romantic destination” in an article on its website, helloonline.com, yesterday.
“Perfect to get away from it all on a romantic mini break – in one of the most unique landscapes on earth ... What could be more romantic than cuddling up with your partner under the most spectacular – and natural – light show in the world?” the article reads.
The article recommends candlelit dinners at the capital’s restaurants and, unsurprisingly, a trip to the Blue Lagoon where the 37 degree water is “perfect for lazing around in – a romantic hour, or three.”
As reported yesterday, a record number of tourists visited Iceland over the holiday period.
