We only made it to Reykjavik, Iceland on the very last day of our two-week autumn road trip<\/strong> around the island. We were chilled to the bone, our hair was sticking out in every direction after soaking in the hot springs, and after two weeks of boiling pasta in the tiny kitchens of our guesthouses and apartments, we were desperate for a bit of civilisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before reaching the city itself, we’d spent a frosty morning hiking 45 minutes up to the Reykjadalur hot river<\/strong>, shivering as we changed outside in the wind. So we appreciated the warmth of that first cosy little caf\u00e9 in the centre all the more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Icelandic coffee may be eye-wateringly expensive<\/strong>, but after days of cold, wind and endless supplies of local liquorice, it tasted like divine nectar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of people skip the city entirely on their trip, which I think is a real shame. If you’re putting together an itinerary and looking for tips on things to do in Reykjavik, Iceland<\/strong>, you’re in the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a tiny city and a single day<\/strong> is plenty to cover the main sights, but it has an incredible atmosphere. In this article you’ll find my favourite tips for what to see and do in Iceland’s capital, plus our tried-and-tested spots to warm up and eat well without meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
