10 days Iceland itinerary

How many times have we seen a photo of Iceland and we are impressed by its beauty? This is my 10 days Iceland itinerary. His landscapes, the ice, the whales, etc … And how often have we imagined walking along with his long roads like Walter Mitty on a skateboard? (by the way watch the movie is very beautiful).

DAY 1 -2 GOLDEN CIRCLE

We landed at 4am, it’s normally in Iceland, but it’s better looking for someplace close to the airport, to rest as soon as you can. The first day we decided to visit the Blue Lagoon, very relaxing. We come back to the trip and we reach Stokkseyri, where we will pass the night. We start the day with the Golden Circle, the stops are:

 

Reynisfjara beach

DAY 8 – 10 REYKJAVIK

The city of Reykjavik is one of the most beautiful capitals I have ever seen. I like these cities that despite being in the north with a cold climate it’s a city full of colors. Reykjavik is a modern (not architectural), and full of life city. Are you obsessed with graffiti and street art like me? I have prepared a post on the graffiti of Reykjavík just for you. Read more about the city here…
