Anyone can string together a list of stops in Icel Anyone can string together a list of stops in Iceland. But if you want to plan an itinerary that checks all the boxes ✅ be sure to ask yourself these 5 questions 👇🏼 🤔 What are your must-see stops? 🤔 How much can you realistically fit into a day? 🤔 Where should you stay (and how often should you move)? 🤔 Where will you eat, especially in remote areas? 🤔 How will you keep everything organized on the road? These are the building blocks of your itinerary that shape your entire trip. And they're the difference between feeling rushed and feeling like you're exactly where you're supposed to be. Reading through all this and feeling like it’s a LOT to consider? My Iceland Itineraries give you a clear, day-by-day plan — complete with dining spots, accommodations, and tour recs that I personally trust. They’re packed with insider tips and designed to help you see the best of Iceland without cramming too much in. And even better? Not only does the digital map included with each itinerary feature highlights and ridden gems along your route… I’ve also marked grocery stores, gas stations, and other practical stops—the kind of details that make a big difference on the road. 👇🏼 Comment “ITINERARY” to skip the stress and get a solid plan for your Iceland trip! . . . . . #traveliniceland #icelandtravel #everydayiceland #discovericeland #reykjavik #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip #reykjaviklife
Dreaming of Iceland in June? 🇮🇸 Here’s wh Dreaming of Iceland in June? 🇮🇸 Here’s what you need to know 👇🏼 ☀️ Get ready to experience the magic of the midnight sun with basically 24 hours of daylight! Perfect for non-stop exploring and taking in the beauty of Iceland. 🌸 June brings stunning landscapes with colorful wildflowers and lush greenery, making Iceland's scenery even more breathtaking. 🌡️ Temperatures range from 37-62°F (3-16°C). Be ready for all kinds of weather by packing layers, a waterproof jacket, and don’t forget a sleep mask to help you rest with all that daylight! 🚗 Driving is straightforward with mostly clear roads. For the Ring Road and Golden Circle, a 2WD will suffice, but you’ll need a 4WD if you plan to explore the Highlands. 🎉 June is festival season! Enjoy the Reykjavík Arts Festival and celebrate Iceland’s Independence Day on June 17th. My Iceland Maps + Guidebooks take the guesswork out of planning—highlighting the best stops, hidden gems, and practical tips for exploring in any season! 👇🏼 Comment “MAPS” and I’ll send you the link to check them out! . . . . . #traveliniceland #icelandtravel #everydayiceland #discovericeland #reykjavik #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandtrip #icelandexplored #icelandroadtrip #reykjaviklife
3 Reasons NOT To Go To The Blue Lagoon In Iceland 3 Reasons NOT To Go To The Blue Lagoon In Iceland 🙅‍♀️ 👉 Price: The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s most famous attractions, and because of this, it’s on the pricier side. If budget is a big concern, you might want to skip this! 👉 Crowds: If you hate crowds and would prefer to visit destinations where you can actually FEEL Iceland’s untouched beauty, the Blue Lagoon might not be for you. 👉 Touristy: No surprise here — the Blue Lagoon draws in thousands of tourists every year. Over time, it’s evolved into more of a high-end spa resort than a natural hot spring. With constant upgrades, added bars, cafés, and fancy packages, it’s feeling less Icelandic and more… curated. Not to mention all the nearby volcanic activity — getting evacuated on vacation isn’t exactly ideal. 🤷🏻‍♀️ If you really want to go to the Blue Lagoon, you should still do it (I do still love it!) But there are dozens of other geothermal pools around Iceland that are just as memorable, way less crowded, and way easier on your wallet. If you’d rather soak like the locals and explore the more authentic side of Icelandic pool culture, I’ve got you covered… In my Iceland Guidebooks + Maps, I’ve marked all my favorite lesser-known hot springs — the ones that are rustic, scenic, and totally worth the detour.
