Best time to visit Iceland
It really depends on your priorities. Generally speaking, summer is the best season to visit Iceland. Between middle of May and August all roads will be open so you can drive pretty much everywhere and enjoy hiking and other outdoor activities. This will also be the midnight Sun season (during July it never really gets dark). Temperatures will be mild and pleasant. Availability can sometimes be restricted so best to book well in advance.
If you want to see the Northern Lights during your holiday to Iceland, then best time to visit will be February, March OR September and October months.
