You should totally make a trip out of your stay (no pun intended). There are so many fun things to do around Iceland in the winter time.

Glacier Hikes, Northern Lights Tours, Day Trips around the South with winter sight seeing or just walking around the city and enjoying the culture - these are all things we can highly recommend checking out while in Iceland.

We know Iceland prices are not for everyone. There are several supermarket chains around the country.

Bónus, the one with the pink piggy bank, is your most affordable option.

Krónan and Nettó can also be affordable and offer a wider selevtion for vegans.

Hagkaup is the place to go if you need luxury food items, local delicasies, high-end cosmetics or other speciality items.

There are two shoppings malls located in within the city, accessible by bus. Visit Kringlan or Smáralind for your shopping experience.

Did you know that the Icelandic pool and hot tub culture has been submitted to Unescos’ Intangible Heritage list?

This ancient land is full of geothermal energy that probides us with plenty of hot water to fill our pools, hot tubs and natural springs.

For the perfect Icelandic experience, visit a local pool early in the morning or late in the evening and soak in the culture and refreshing, relaxing feel of the miniral water. We reccomend Sundhöll Reykjavíkur or Vesturbæjarlaug.

For a more luxurious experience, you can have visit destinations like the Blue Lagoon, the Sky Lagoon or Hvammsvík Hot Springs.

The Icelandic winter can be as amazing as it can be unforgiving. Please be prepared for any kind of weather and plan accordingly when traveling the country.
