Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Reykjavik

   Iceland

   

   Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital, distils the entire improbable beauty of Iceland into one compact, creatively charged city. The soaring basalt columns of Hallgrímskirkja dominate a skyline of primary-coloured rooftops, while the Harpa Concert Hall shimmers beside the harbour like a captured aurora. Day trips from the city unlock the Golden Circle's geysers and Geysir hot spring, the black sand beaches of Vík, and the ethereal glacier lagoon at Jökulsárlón. Geothermal pools — from the legendary Blue Lagoon to intimate neighbourhood hot pots — offer warmth year-round. June and July bring the bewitching midnight sun.

   Westfjords

   Iceland

   

   The Westfjords are Iceland’s wildest, least-visited corner—a 16-million-year-old peninsula of deep fjords, the bridal-veil Dynjandi waterfall, and Látrabjarg’s massive bird cliffs where puffins nest within arm’s reach. Must-dos include hiking to Dynjandi’s thundering cascades, photographing puffins at Látrabjarg, and tasting Arctic char in Ísafjörður. Visit June through August when the midnight sun illuminates the fjords and roads are passable.
