7. Northern Iceland
Northern Iceland is arguably the only destination in Europe which has acquired fame by word of mouth. It is known mainly for its hot spring baths. You have places offering nature baths like the Myvatn Nature Baths. Iceland also has geysers, towering waterfalls and lava fields. The most important aspect of Northern Iceland is that it is relatively economical than the rest of Europe.
