The first time I sae views of Landmannalaugar online, I decided that I'll include it if I ever got the chance to visit Iceland. Thankfully, I was able to go in a trip to Europe. I had to plan my trip around summer because it was the only time when the roads to the area are open. Once autumn and winter set in, the roads are frequently closed.

If you're short on time, I would recommend a day trip to Landmannalaugar from Reykjavik.
