Wrap up your day with a visit to Laugavegur, the city’s main shopping street. Here, you’ll find a variety of local boutiques and unique stores, perfect for picking up Icelandic treasures and souvenirs.

Day 2: Discover the Snæfellsnes Peninsula

Set out early to explore the stunning Snæfellsnes Peninsula, often called “Little Iceland” because it offers a microcosm of the country’s diverse landscapes. From majestic glaciers to cascading waterfalls and charming fishing villages steeped in folklore, this region is a feast for the senses.

Located in West Iceland, the Snæfellsnes Peninsula is ideal for a day trip from Reykjavík. Join a small-group tour to make the most of your visit, or extend your exploration over two days to take in nearby attractions.

The Golden Circle can be completed in an afternoon, but consider dedicating the whole day to fully appreciate its wonders.
