Iceland
The eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in 2010 proved to be a turning point, catapulting Iceland into becoming one of the most coveted destinations in Europe.
Today, few places can rival the sheer uniqueness of Iceland's offerings. From waterfalls and glaciers to volcanoes, caves, lava fields, and majestic mountains, all are easily accessible for a quick getaway. However, it's worth noting that Iceland's array of wonders is vast and exploring them fully across the country would ideally require a few weeks.
