Your day at a glance
Welcome to Iceland! After landing at Keflavik (KEF), collect your pre-booked rental car — the most important step of your ring road adventure. The drive into Reykjavik takes ~45 minutes on the Reykjanesbraut highway. June 13th will have nearly 24 hours of daylight, so don't fight the light — lean into it.
After dropping your bags at CityHub, head straight to Sky Lagoon for a world-class geothermal soak overlooking the North Atlantic — the perfect way to decompress from travel. The evening is all about the city's compact, walkable core: the iconic Hallgrímskirkja church, the rainbow street of Skólavörðustígur, dinner at the brilliant Mama Reykjavik, and a nightcap at the atmospheric Vegan World Peace. Thanks to the midnight sun, you can do all of this after 8pm and it'll still look like a golden afternoon.
5 stops
🎯 activity
A stunning infinity geothermal lagoon perched on the Kópavogur coastline with views stretching to the North Atlantic. The Skjól ritual (7-step thermal experience) includes a cold plunge, sauna, fog mist, and exfoliating scrub — a perfect arrival decompression.
Address · Vesturvör 44-48, 200 Kópavogur, Iceland
Field note
Book ahead online — slots sell out weeks in advance in June. The Sky package (with Skjól ritual) is worth the upgrade.
⭐ attraction
Reykjavik's landmark Lutheran church soaring 74m above the city, inspired by Iceland's columnar basalt lava flows. Ride the elevator to the tower for a panoramic view of the multicoloured rooftops and surrounding mountains — best in the golden evening light.
Address · Hallgrímstorg 1, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland
Field note
Tower closes at 21:00. Go early in your visit window to beat the queues.
⭐ attraction
The colourful uphill street leading from Laugavegur to Hallgrímskirkja, lined with galleries, design boutiques, and independent shops. A favourite promenade that captures Reykjavik's creative, free-spirited energy — painted in rainbow colours.

Field note
Browse Kirsuberjatréð and Geysir design shops for quality Icelandic souvenirs without the tourist markup.
🍽️ restaurant
A beloved local favourite on Bankastræti serving fresh, seasonal Icelandic food with excellent dairy-free options — the lamb soup and fish of the day are standout choices. Rated 4.8 with a warm, convivial atmosphere perfect after a long travel day.
Address · Bankastræti 2, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland
Field note
Tell the server you're dairy-free — they'll guide you to the right dishes. The lamb stew is naturally dairy-free.
🍽️ restaurant
One of Reykjavik's most celebrated plant-based restaurants, fully vegan and therefore 100% dairy-free. A lovely spot for a late evening snack or dessert as the midnight sun glows golden over the old harbour neighbourhood.
