I so admire you for being able to compress so much into three days! I wish I had that skill; I always leave trips wanting more. 😉 I love the photo of that lit-up building in Reykjavik!
Trust and believe I will be heading back again. This time at a slower pace.
Iceland is so so amazing and can’t stop admiring every picture on this post. Waiting to visit soon. Thanks for sharing.
Great itinerary! Love the pics too 🙂
Thanks Claire 🙂
I believe this would be an ideal itinerary for anyone who is there in Iceland for three days. Iceland is a dream destination for us and a road trip here is high on our bucketlist. We’d definitely go for the Blue Lagoon. Thanks for putting this together.
Fun itinerary made even better with different options each day. Iceland definitely feels like an amazing place to visit!
This is a very convenient itinerary for Iceland. I can see that you have covered all the main highlights and kept sufficient time for a relaxing time in the Blue Lagoon. My favourite part of this itinerary would be day 1 which includes the visit to the Pingvellir National Park. We hope to get to Iceland some day and be able to see the Northern Lights too.
Quite a brief and informative itinerary. Thanks for sharing.
