Get your fun-in-the-sun time in before summer sun slips away
Reykjavik
While Iceland might not be an obvious choice for an end-of-summer hurrah, this frigid-sounding place is in fact one very “hot” destination. And, at just 5.5 hours from points East, it’s one of the more accessible European capitals for a long-weekend getaway. This dynamic Nordic city has lots to offer, too, from cultural institutions, many of which showcase the island’s unique Viking culture, as well as legendary nightlife, with chic pubs and clubs overflowing with sleek patrons. Reykjavik is also close to some outstanding natural attractions, including hot springs, mountains, glaciers, spouting geysers, waterfalls, and bays, where innumerable outdoor activities await. Considering that most of winter is spent in darkness in this northern outpost, Labor Day is also among your last chances to experience some of the country’s renowned summertime Midnight Sun – albeit, only ‘til 8 or 9pm.
