"5. stop – a pleasant short stop - steps lead to the crater, approx. 10 minutes uphill -the crater is approximately 3000-4000 years old - on top of the crater you will find the names of the surrounding hills - as on every hill in Iceland, it can be unpleasantly windy! "
Kristen Mackiewicz
" Volcanic crater. Really boring views inside the crater, but good 360 views form the top. Only takes like 20 minutes to walk up."
Victoria Barsi
"Dress warmly! When we went it was super windy (see video below). Beautiful panoramic views were worth it though "

I first visited Iceland 3 years ago after getting an internship out of nowhere. And since then I been coming back year after year discovering the country more and falling in love even deeper. Iceland is the crazy combination of fire and ice, pure nature, crazy landscape and unbelievably welcoming people. Friends and family always asked me for recommendations and like that, I eventually came to make this 10-day itinerary that I'd like to share with you. You'll stop at the most iconic locations and do things like whale watching, ice cave hiking and exploring the glacier lagoon by boat. The itinerary with renting a car in mind. If you want to travel to Iceland without a car check out my other guide on car-free and budget Iceland. You can do it solo or with as many people as you can fit in a car. You can either choose a budget version with camping or be more comfortable with apartments on the way. For example, if you were to travel with a friend the cheapest option would be renting 4x4 and camping with your own tents. That would be 480€ per person plus activities and if you choose all of them total would be 890€. You can explore all price options in an interactive spreadsheet.
