Every tourist that visits Iceland should make sure to experience everything the country’s capital Reykjavik has to offer. With that being said, you shouldn’t just spend your whole time in Iceland here. Instead, check out some of these other amazing places.
The Golden Circle
Three of the most famous natural attractions in Iceland—Thingvellir National Park, the Geyser Geothermal Area, and the Gullfoss Waterfall—are commonly referred to as Golden Circle. They aren’t too far away from Reykjavik, making them a convenient day trip while offering some of the most stunning sights you’ll ever witness.
Mosfellsbaer
Mosfellsbaer has become an increasingly popular place among tourists in recent years. That is in part because of its amazing surrounding nature and in part because the city is investing significant funds into improving its infrastructure and building areas for various outdoor activities. Some of the most popular activities include hiking, skiing, and fishing.
Blue Lagoon
Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa that stands out as one of the most visited tourist attractions in Iceland. Located in the proximity of the fishing town Grindavík, the place offers a unique opportunity for visitors to enjoy soaking in hot thermal waters while enjoying some amazing views of the nearby mountains, hills, and forests.
