Blue Lagoon

Good coffee, great bagels, delicious tea. The cafe is quite popular with the locals - and that's an indicator of quality too! If you want to remember as many views of Reykjavik as possible, take your coffee and croissants with you and enjoy a stroll along the waterfront.

Here you can buy a variety of snacks and water for the trip. The prices are quite acceptable by Icelandic standards.

This unusual color of the lagoon's water is due to the blue-green algae and silicon molecules that reflect the sun's rays. You can swim here at any time of the year, because the water temperature never drops below 36 degrees Celsius.

This restaurant offers a unique gastronomic experience. The chefs take pride in using fresh ingredients. Lunch and evening menus include both light and refined dishes. The interiors of the restaurant are also impressive, just look at the stone wall fragment and the floor-to-ceiling windows.

A great place for a short walk. It offers picturesque views of the local nature, you can see the black sand and volcanic formations.

We're getting farther and farther away from the Icelandic capital and heading toward amazing unspoiled nature. The rest of the day is up to you, whether you want to stroll through the nearby streets or linger by one of the lakes you pass by. Just remember that tomorrow you'll have a busy trip to the waterfalls, so don't overdo it.
