Great place for a relaxing walk/hike and watching natural volvanic lava formations. Feels like in another world; the whole area feels the same..
Free toilets, free hot chocolate and free coffee at the Krafla power station visitor centre.
Gorgeous, even in an almost white-out blizzard. Don't be dummies like us and stay more than one night if you can, in case weather is tricky.

This is my Geysir. I know it is sleeping, and my Strokkur is erupting more right now (but all the geysers in the world are named after it, so please show some respect and try not to fall into it).
My Gullfoss is a very good waterfall with a lot of water. It is falling for you, so please pay attention to it. Read more.
Bathe in two continents because the American and Euro-Asian tectonic plates meet at the Blue Lagoon!
Þingvellir is the place where I am drifting apart. One part of me goes west, and other goes east. (But don't worry, it happens very, very slowly. Much to slowly for humans to notice.)
The greatest part of our trip! Natural geothermal spring was an amazing time to unwind. Very clean and well maintained. Relaxed for over an hour in the hot water. Be sure to pay in the landowners box.
This is one of those beautiful and haunting places that will stay with you for the rest of your life. You might even be lucky enough to see puffins!!!
With one of the world's top 10 economies, Britain cuts arts funding. Facing total financial ruin, Iceland built this stunning performance venue. I know which future generations will appreciate more.
I think most burger joints fail miserably when making Lamb burger. But you can get AMAZING one in this restaurant. Lot of seasoning but very very tasty.
It's considered by many to be the best ice cream in town. On a hot summer day, which is quite rare to be honest, this might be the first place to visit for a refreshing sorbet or gelato ice cream. Read more.
Good selection of local and imported craft beers, both on draft and by the bottle
A lovely, low-lit, homey little oasis off the main shopping street. The owner is extremely friendly, the food is good, and they brew a mean cappuccino. Also, free wifi!
Locally grown meat, straight from our farmers. The Icelandic Lamb is out of this world, you can taste the blueberries and arctic thyme that they eat during their outdoor life in the wilderness.
Cinnamon roll is the best! They have 3 variants-cinnamon,vanilla&blueberry licorice.This place is just a stone's throw away from the church,in a colorful building.The scent will lure you into the shop
A fun collection of wine bars, food and restaurants. There are shared benches so everyone can get something different. Recommendation: Glass of wine at Kröst.
Both the lamb and shellfish soup are great! The lamb is very tender, and the shellfish soup is full of prawns and scallops… and you get 1 refill for free!
