This three-day trip covers central Reykjavik, the Golden Circle and the Reykjanes peninsula. The order begins with city landmarks before moving to the day trips. Day two follows the standard Golden Circle loop while day three ends near the airport area with the Blue Lagoon and hot springs.
Three days fits the main sites if you drive or book day tours. Add buffer time for weather delays on the road.
Book Blue Lagoon slots at least two weeks ahead in summer. Entry starts at 11990 ISK and includes towel and drink.
Rent a car for the 200 km round trip or join a guided bus tour from the city center. Fuel and parking add about 5000 ISK per day.
Go to Hallgrímskirkja at opening for fewer crowds and take the elevator to the tower. Harpa needs no ticket for the lobby but book concerts in advance.
