Where to stay: 

Reykjavik is the capital🏛️city. We recommend The Sands Hotel🏨 – a Luxury, intimate boutique hotel right in the heart of the city.

If you are looking to lounge in the hot🔥 springs, we love the Scilia Hotel🏨 and The Retreat both at the Blue Lagoon💦.  Blue Lagoon💦 is a geothermal spa found on the Reykjanes Peninsula. It is a famous destination for its milky blue waters💦 surrounded by Iceland's🏔️ scenic mountains🏞️. Don't forget to enjoy time there with the famous in water💦 massage as a relaxation retreat! When visiting the Blue💦 Lagoon, you will have to take a tour to see the glaciers surrounding the lagoon.

Head to lunch at the restaurant Lava with your Maxed Out Pouchette👛 or for dinner🍗🥐 a not miss meal is at Moss Restaurant🍽️, a Michelin🧑‍🍳 star restaurant🍽️, and pair your meal with a glass of wine🍷 ... or two🍷🍷!

What to do: 

There were so many beautiful sites to see👓 in Iceland, here are our top 5📋:

When in Iceland🏞️, enjoy the view of the Northern Lights✨, known as the Aurora Borealis. Popular places to see the stunning natural sites of the Northern Lights✨ are Thingveller National Park🏞️ in the south, Asbyrig Canyon in the north, and Kirkjufell Mountain🏞️ in the west.

Visit the famous Church⛪, Hallgrimskirkja, and the nearby scenic pedestrian street🌈🛣️, Skolavoroustigur.

Take Iceland's🏞️ most famous tours; the Golden Circle Tour is a must-do! It's a day trip from Reykjavik. Pack up your Small Tablet Backpack🎒 with all your day trip essentials🚾📱💄 and enjoy the beautiful scenery🏞️. One of our favorite👍 spots from the Tour was Frioheimar Tomato 🍅Farm.
