Close your eyes and pay up. At least, that’s the strategy I use when I drink a coffee, order a cocktail, or go out for dinner in Reykjavík. Don’t think about it, because then I’ll spontaneously go on a diet. So yes, it’s expensive, but in Reykjavík, there are really nice coffee shops, bars, and restaurants that I simply don’t want to miss out on. So make your own selection and spend, spend, spend!
Reykjavík in Iceland is the northernmost capital in the world. It is a compact, quiet city. There are a handful of sights, street art, and several museums. You can spot whales and even see the Northern Lights – if you’re lucky! I’m happy to share fun things to do in Reykjavík, so read on.
It feels a little like no man’s land. While many travelers do a mini road trip of Snæfellsnes, West Iceland seems almost deserted further inland from Borgarnes. But if you look carefully, you will find Icelandic gems here. I am happy to give you some tips for this part of West Iceland.
What I love about Andalusia is that everyone knows it, and at the same time, there are still many unknown places. The coastal town of Barbate is one of those. Barbate’s highlight? Wow, that’s hard to choose. For me, it’s either the tuna temple or the cliffs of Barbate.
A cute white town on the coast, that’s Conil de la Frontera. Chilling on the beach, walking around town, and eating local specialties. The town is certainly not big, making it perfect for a day trip. Find out what to expect from and do in Conil de la Frontera.
When you say Iceland, you say Golden Circle. This ‘golden route’ takes you to many highlights of Iceland in a short amount of time. And yes, it is very touristy, but who cares. I want to take you along the Golden Circle route, and I will add a few extras.
Giant ice chunks on the beach and ice caves in glaciers. There is a clear reason why around 1 million people visit Jökulsárlón in Iceland every year. The Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach are must-dos, but don’t forget the Múlagljúfur Canyon!
Vík is the wettest place in all of Iceland. That doesn’t sound very inviting, does it? But it’s also the place of the black beach, the plane wreck, fun food trucks, and more. So, despite the rain, you should put Vík on your Iceland to-do list – and bring your raincoat.
