Sure, you could race around the entire island in 10 days, but why would you want to? You’d spend way too much time in the car. Instead, limit your Icelandic road trip to the bottom half. This itinerary shows you tons of Iceland between Snæfellsnes and Höfn.

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.
