A Long Weekend in Magical Iceland! A Land of Fire, Ice and Everything Nice!

As soon as you land at KEF Airport, make your way to the Blue Lagoon, which is conveniently located between the airport and Reykjavik. It’s the perfect introduction to Iceland, offering a magical experience just moments after you touch down.

The Blue Lagoon is a true Icelandic wonder, and it’s equally mesmerizing in both winter and summer. In the winter, the contrast between the warm, mineral-rich waters and the crisp, cold air creates a dreamy, almost surreal atmosphere — perfect for unwinding after your flight. In the summer, sunlight dances on the lagoon’s turquoise surface, casting shimmering reflections across the water, and adding a whole new kind of enchantment to the experience. Whether you're visiting in winter or summer, it's an unmissable first stop to relax and soak in Iceland’s natural beauty.

The Golden Circle is Iceland’s most popular tourist route, and for good reason! It’s packed with iconic sights and stunning natural wonders that will make your trip unforgettable. I can help you book with a reputable guide. As Stefan from SNL would say, The Golden Circle tour has everything from massive waterfalls, hot springs, talk of elves and a massive crater that Björk once performed in.

If you're visiting in the winter, the Northern Lights are a must-see. Book a tour on your first night, so you can cross your fingers, pray to the Icelandic weather gods and (hopefully) check this magical experience off your list. Keep in mind, though, that the Northern Lights are a bit elusive and don’t always come out to play. It might take a few nights to catch the perfect display. But don’t fret — reputable guides will not take you out unless they’re confident that conditions are right for spotting the lights. They know what they're doing, and they’ll keep an eye on the forecast to give you the best shot at seeing this incredible natural spectacle. Bring plenty of handwarmers!!

Book a tour of Iceland's Southern coast — for some of the most beautiful landscapes you will ever see. It gives off a major Game of Thrones energy! This tour of Iceland’s Southern Coast is everything you’ve dreamed of and more. From having the nerve to walk behind a powerful waterfall (if you dare!) to enjoying lunch in the charming village of Vík, and the iconic black stand beaches, this tour gives you the kind of authentic Icelandic experience you’ll never forget.

Check out Hallgrímskirkja, which is a church in the center of Reykjavik and the largest structure in the country. Take the elevator to the top for the most stunning views of the city and its colorful houses.

Downtown Reykjavik is a colorful and charming mix of vibrant houses, shopping and bars/and cafes. Stroll through the streets to admire the bright architecture, shop for Icelandic wool and handmade souvenirs and indulge in delicious local dishes at the city’s many restaurants. Whether you're grabbing a coffee, tasting Icelandic lamb (or whale!), or simply exploring on foot, Reykjavik’s laid-back vibe makes it the perfect place to soak in the culture and find hidden gems around every corner.

You can't visit Reykjavik without checking out Seabaron (or Sjávarbarinn), a quirky local institution that’s a must for anyone craving fresh seafood. Famous for its lobster soup, this tiny, cozy spot has been a beloved favorite for both locals and tourists alike. The soup is rich, creamy and full of flavor — perfect for warming up after a chilly day exploring the city.

Brauð & Co is a must for their incredible cinnamon rolls! You are going to want it every morning, so make sure you check it out on day one!

Did you know that Iceland is known for hot dogs? There are a few places around the world that claim to have the best — so you will just need to try them all!

Svarta Kaffið for soup! They have the most delicious soup served in bread bowls. So clutch on a cold day.

The bars in Reykjavik don’t stop until the sun comes up, so make sure you get plenty of rest before your trip. It is a drinking town! A favorite bar of mine is called Den Danske Kro, but honestly you can't go wrong no matter where you end up.
