It is probably the most famous spa in the world: the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. I am hesitant about whether it is worth the money, but I decide to go anyway. I want to see it with my own eyes, and yes, the water is as really blue as in the photos. I am happy to tell you what to expect and how you can perhaps arrange a small discount on the Blue Lagoon.
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!
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.
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.
