3 Days in Reykjavik: Nature and Culture Itinerary

Begin your second day with an exciting adventure on the Golden Circle & Glacier, private Super Jeep. This tour will take you through some of Iceland's most famous natural wonders including Thingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss waterfall. Make sure to have breakfast at your hotel before heading out as this will be a full-day excursion.

Continue your Golden Circle tour into the afternoon. The private Super Jeep experience allows you to explore off-the-beaten-path locations that are less crowded but equally stunning. Enjoy lunch during one of the stops; packed lunches are often provided by tour operators or you can bring your own.

Return to Reykjavik in the evening and unwind with dinner at Dill Restaurant, one of Reykjavik's top dining establishments known for its innovative New Nordic cuisine. The restaurant offers tasting menus that showcase local ingredients in creative ways.

Start your final day with a visit to National Museum of Iceland. This museum provides an excellent overview of Icelandic history and culture from settlement times to modern days. Afterward, grab breakfast at Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur, renowned for serving some of the best hot dogs in Europe.

In the afternoon, head over to Árbaer Open Air Museum (Árbaejarsafn). This living history museum features old houses brought from different parts of Reykjavik and reassembled here. It's perfect for learning about traditional Icelandic life. For lunch, stop by Messinn which is known for its delicious fish dishes served in pans.

End your trip with some relaxation at one of Reykjavik's geothermal pools or spas such as Laugardalslaug or Vesturbaejarlaug. These pools offer hot tubs, steam baths, and swimming areas perfect for unwinding after days of exploration. For your farewell dinner, dine at Kopar Restaurant, located by the old harbor offering fantastic views along with delectable seafood dishes.
