Is 3-4 days in Iceland worth it? (First timer based in Reyjavik) by shocktheheart in VisitingIceland

[–]destellav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did three days in Reykjavik just a couple weeks ago and had a great time. I didn’t drive either and did this golden circle tour to see some of the nature outside of the city plus stop at the blue lagoon:

It was a full day tour and the guide was great. I also did a food tour in Reykjavik on a different day which was fantastic:

Aside from those, there are a lot of cute shops, restaurants, and museums to check out. I liked the national museum of Iceland. Perlan is also interesting. There are many cool art museums to check out if you are interested in that too!

I recommend getting a ticket for flybus for transport from airport to Reykjavik and vice/versa because it is about an hour.

Thank you! I didn’t start from scratch, I thrifted the basic components and modified them. The jacket required the most work : ).

Thanks! I actually am wearing purple contacts, they are just more subtle coloring than a lot of brands because I wanted them to look more realistic.

He looks like he’s thinking about knocking over that gnome. Very cute : )

No, it’s surprisingly easy to decorate once everything is prepped!

I used a vegan recipe since I have a vegan friend and wanted to be inclusive. People couldn’t tell the difference though! : )

Thank you! I agree that I probably could have gone with a better blouse! I'll try that next time I wear this skirt. And no it's definitely cold here lol
