Northern Lights Bar at ION Luxury Adventure Hotel, Iceland

The Northern Lights Bar in Iceland may not be made of ice, but because it’s located virtually in the middle of nowhere — set against the backdrop of windswept lava fields an hour from the city lights of Reykjavik — it’s one of the most ideal places to see the Northern Lights.

The bar boasts double-height glass walls that provide panoramic views over Lake Thingvallavatn, as well as beer from the nation’s independent micro-breweries.
