Iceland is home to majestic waterfalls, active volcanoes, and some of the most spectacular views of the Northern Lights. Many Game of Thrones fans will recognise the landmarks that became backdrops for several scenes in the series. 

There is plenty to see and do here, and a week will only get you to the highlights. So take a look at this Iceland itinerary for 7 days of exploration and discovery.

Iceland Itinerary Day 1: Reykjavik

1.

This is a tiny city, but it’s bursting at the seams with excitement and culinary delights. Reykjavik is the appetiser to your Iceland trip, giving you just a taste of the magic you’ll find on this island.

Iceland Itinerary Day 2: Snaefellsnes Peninsula

2.

This diverse peninsula is often referred to as “Iceland in Miniature” because it holds so much of the country’s magnificence in one spot. You’ll find the best that Iceland has to offer, all in this one corner of the country.

Iceland Itinerary Day 3: Golden Circle

3.

The Golden Circle is home to the Geysir and Strokkur geysers and other must-see geothermal areas. There are also Icelandic horse farms, volcanic craters, and towns with unmissable restaurants.

Iceland Itinerary Days 4 and 5: Jökulsárlón

4.

Jökulsárlón may just be my favourite place in Iceland. This glacier lagoon is a large lake of water from melted glaciers. This is Iceland’s deepest lake at 250 metres.

Iceland Itinerary Days 6 and 7: South Coast and Back to Keflavik

5.

This island’s south end is a wonderland of views unlike any you’ve seen before. The glacier lagoon, unique beaches, and magnificent cliffs all create an experience of a lifetime.
