"🚌 Skool Beans Cafe is my favourite coffee shop in Iceland! 🙌 High praise as I've found many wonderful coffee shops all around the country. ☕️ Skool Beans is a micro-roaster and tea lab with a fabulous selection: everything from espresso and cappuccino to chai and matcha lattes. ☕️ Plus unusual tea infusions, and an indulgent line of hot chocolates. 😋 While my travel companions enjoyed their Flat Whites, I went for the Overdoes! 🤩 Have never had a more spectacular and decadent hot chocolate. 😋 Topped with a mountain of whipped cream sprinkled with Maltesers and two chocolate bars tucked into the cream... so good! 🥯 There's also bagels and muffins, but I was too preoccupied with my hot chocolate. 🛍️ The entire shop is set up in a cute yellow school bus with some of the most adorable merchandise. ⏰ HOURS: Wednesday through Friday 9 am - 3 pm. Saturaday & Sunday 9 am - 5 pm. ⚠️ WARNING: Skool Beans is closed on Monday & Tuesday. 🇮🇸 BACKUP PLAN: If you visit Vik early in the week, go to Crepes.is for breakfast instead. (listed below in the itinerary)."

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.
