Full 8-day travel guide for Iceland

Active volcanoes. Dancing northern lights. Gushing geysers. Massive glaciers. Thermal hot springs. Thundering waterfalls. Iceland is the ultimate adventure destination. How have you not been here yet? It’s finally time. Start in the northernmost capital in the world. Reykjavik is a hip, modern city. Then start exploring the wild coastline, the sheep-filled countryside, the icy interior, and the peaceful islands. There are plenty of black-sand beaches, small fishing villages, turf-roofed houses, and epic hikes along the way. Just remember to pack layers. Sometimes, the Gulf Stream provides moderate temperatures. Other times, it’ll feel like you’re in the Arctic. Also don’t forget the long, dark winters and the 24-hour daylight during the short summers. If you take advantage of Icelandair’s free stopover program—a great excuse to visit Helsinki, Copenhagen, and even Paris—you can keep returning to discover which season you like best.

The Iceland Guide

When you head east from Reykjavík, it doesn't take long to leave the Capital Region and enter South Iceland. The city immediately feels quite far away. This area is home to the Golden Circle and Vatnajökull National Park. It's filled with picturesque waterfalls, black-sand beaches, thermal hot springs, iceberg-filled lagoons, stunning hiking trails, and fascinating historic sites. There's a lot to see within relatively short driving distances. It's a good place to start your real Icelandic adventure.

Southern Iceland 5-Day Travel Guide

Black Beach Restaurant

It's all about the view--Reynisfjara and Reynisdrangar--at the Black Beach Restaurant. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the black sand and the basalt sea stacks. It's a bit chaotic inside, though. You have to order at the counter, where desserts and beverages are on display. Soups, burgers, and fish and chips will be delivered to your table, if you decide to stay for lunch or an early dinner. The best choice might be to just grab a coffee and walk down to the beach. With a hot drink in your hands, the chilly wind won't bother you as quickly.

Open: 10 am - 7 pm
