Keflavík International Airport, also known as Reykjavík–Keflavík Airport, is the largest airport in Iceland and serves as the main hub for international travel. Located about 50 km southwest of Reykjavík, it's a bustling gateway for travelers coming to and from North America and Europe.

There is also a DOMESTIC airport in Reykjavik city centre (RKV) - be careful not to confuse the two.

Hertz is one of few rental companies that have a counter inside the airport, so you'll be much faster at picking up your vehicle on arrival.

They also have an extensive coverage around Iceland and a very good customer service. Most (If not all) of the cars come with unlimited mileage and zero hidden cost.

The unlimited mileage is a huge plus in Iceland as it can always be so tempting to drive down just one more road!

Kronan is the best supermarket in Iceland. This one is perfectly located along the highway. I recommend stopping here to pick up food for at least a 2-3 days if you are traveling by campervan.

Laugardalslaug is a great option for families looking for an authentic Icelandic experience. Icelander's go to the local pools instead of the pricier spas. This pool in particular is quite large and has a number of fun things for kids to enjoy.

Don't forget to shower naked before taking a dip—it's just an Icelandic thing for hygiene!

This is a free parking lot convenient for whale watching tours, walking around the city centre, and is close to my favourite hotels in the city, Reykjavík Marina Hotel and Exeter Hotel. If this lot is full when you arrive, street parking, for which you pay at the kiosks, is your next best option.

This is my favorite museum in Reykjavik. You get to see the whales in real size and understand how big they actually are. They have all from Orcas to Humbacks and Blue Whale. Definitely worth a visit.

If you are going on a whale watching tour, Special Tours also offers admission to this museum alongside your tour.

Omnom are famous for their chocolate but here in Reykjavik they also have a super good ice-cream shop. Each one is an art piece in it's own

Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre is a beautiful venue in Reykjavík, Iceland that offers innovative design, thrilling performances, and exciting events. This iconic destination was designed by the renowned Danish artist Olafur Eliasson and Henning Larsen Architects, and features a unique, glass façade inspired by the basalt landscape of Iceland.

Skólavörðustígur, also known as the Reykjavík Rainbow Street, is a pedestrian street in downtown Reykjavik, Iceland. It's a very popular photo spot where you can also get Hallgrimskirkja in the background.

The church overlooking all of Reykjavik. You can pay to get up into the tower to get a good view of Reykjavik.
