CULTURAL TRAVEL & SLOW TRAVEL ICELAND
Mountains, fjords, glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls and hot springs have made Iceland world famous and are the first things people remember when asked about Iceland. But there is much more to explore on the island of fire and ice. We are talking about the inhabitants of the large island with the small population of only around 300.000. Who are they? Where do they come from and how is the daily life on the island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? Take a trip with us and learn about the Icelandic culture and meet the locals. Learn about the Vikings, elves and hidden people; experience the unqiue traditions and culture. Meet an Icelandic artist, writer or architect; learn Icelandic and explore the rich literary heritage. Visit farmers, geothermal power stations, local companies, a fish factory or some of the many interesting museums.
You might want to plant a tree, have cooking lessons or produce your own souvenir. Enjoy classical music, Icelandic art, design and handicraft all while discovering Icelandic wildlife and breathtaking nature. GJ-Travel has a specialty culture travel department for trailor made group programs.
