If it's not already on your bucket list, put Iceland on it. In this Iceland Travel Guide, I've compiled my tips for a unique city trip to Reykjavik. If you're short on time, you can explore Reykjavik from Reykjavik It's a good idea to book an excursion to see more of the island. The Golden Circle tour, for example, is very popular, and I've done it before. In just one day, you'll see several well-known highlights of Iceland's unique natural landscape.

If you have more time, I highly recommend a week-long road trip. Stay in unique locations, eat lots of seafood, and brave the cold to enjoy the amazing landscapes outdoors. From black sand beaches to geysers, and if you're lucky, you might even spot whales.

Tip: With Icelandair, you can make a free stopover in Reykjavik if you're going on a city trip to New York, for example!
