4 days in Reykjavik Itinerary

Reykjavik, the world's most northerly capital, effortlessly combines small-town charm with heaps of big city energy.

Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Perlan and Reykjavik Open Air Museum. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at 12 Tonar and Nautholsvik Geothermal Beach. Change things up with these side-trips from Reykjavik: The Settlement Center (in Borgarnes), Speed Boats Tours (in Reykholt) and Hraunfossar (in Husafell). The adventure continues: head outdoors with Outdoor Activities, stop by Handknitting Association of Iceland, take a pleasant ride with a tour on horseback, and relax and rejuvenate at some of the top local wellness centers.
