Plan a trip to Reykjavik →The must-see places in Reykjavik include Blue Lagoon, Hallgrímskirkja, Whale Watching, Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre, Perlan and more. Here is the full list, with a short note on each:

A gleaming Viking ship sculpture by the sea, symbolizing hope, progress, and freedom.
A museum showcasing Iceland's rich history and culture from settlement to the present day.
Here is what 3 days in Reykjavik look like when the planner builds them: stops grouped by proximity so no day doubles back, one full day at a time. The same route can be built for any length, from two days to a week.
This is an example. The planner builds a different route for your dates, real opening hours, how you get around and your own preferences.
