I’ve been going on about it to the wife for some time now about wanting to go and see what it’s like.
Being a massive game of thrones fan she has only went and surprised me with a 3 day trip to which the description goes like,
Winter is Coming. The White Walkers march south and the North prepares their army. Before the war begins, take the opportunity to lay your eyes on locations where many an iconic Game of Thrones scene was filmed. You'll visit the Land Beyond the Wall on a behind-the-scenes, expert-led tour that takes you to places other excursions don't go. Wander the dramatic landscapes looked down upon by Daenerys and Jon as they clung to the back of dragons, and see the show in a way you've never seen it before.
On this thrilling optional tour you'll traverse the Land of Always Winter, stopping at filming locations throughout the Golden Circle with your Game of Thrones guru who will be costumed in classic wintry Stark style. Gather behind-the-scenes knowledge from your guide (who was an extra on set) while you visit spots like the Bloody Gate in Þingvellir National Park, where you'll follow the paths of Sansa and Arya Stark, and a certain settlement-era lodge in the Þjórsárdalur Valley which was the site of a horridly haunting massacre (no Freys will be present, don't fret).
For Thrones and non-Thrones fans alike, the starring feature of your escape is an adventure to seek out the mesmerising and elusive Northern Lights either by bus or by boat. Make your escape truly unforgettable by opting for transfers to the thermal waters of the iconic Blue Lagoon, a whale and dolphin-watching cruise, or even a journey along Iceland's dramatic South Coast to take in volcanic blank-sand beaches (including Reynisfjara, which was used as the location for Eastwatch-by-the-Sea in season seven).
If the Game of Thrones-themed Golden Circle tour doesn't tickle your fancy, opt for the classic excursion combining three of Iceland's staple highlights: Þingvellir National Park where you can observe the rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, the refreshing Gullfoss waterfall and the famed Geysir geothermal area, where you will witness Strokkur erupt every five to 10 minutes. To all this, you could even add an unforgettable trip to the Secret Lagoon.
CenterHotel Plaza is decked out with modern oak furniture and sleek decor. It offers guests a breakfast buffet of fruits, breads and jams with cold cuts, cheeses and pastries. After a day's sightseeing, relax with a refreshing cocktail or glass of wine in the stylishly decorated Plaza Bar. CenterHotel Plaza boasts friendly, multilingual staff, an excellent concierge service and wireless internet.
So has anyone been before looking for recommendations on things to do when we’re there and generally what is like. Sure we will have time for other things after the tours etc.
