Relocated old houses, a farm & other displays tracing the history, culture & folklore of Reykjavik.
Huge 1990 stainless-steel sculpture of a boat by Jón Gunnar Árnason, set on granite beside the sea.
Stately Lutheran church on a hill with many stained-glass windows & a large pipe organ.
Visit for more affordable Icelandic wool sweaters and other goods, where Veronika can show you the knitting machines, and you might meet Rella the friendly sheep dog.
Hike the steep mountain path for a different view and to see hundreds of puffins near the cliffs around 10am; it's a 2-hour round trip.
This is the best place to see many puffins after a short stroll from the lower parking site, but the road closes at 7 p.m.
Locals stop here for the authentic pastel de nata and coffee combo, or to pick up Portuguese gourmet products like sardines, cheese, and ham.
This bakery is known for its vanilla cream and pistachio croissants, described as buttery, flaky, and perfectly baked.
Try the lava flow cake for breakfast, or the lemon tart and chocolate volcano, but note they close at 6pm, so visit around 5:30pm.
Locals send you here for the "truly exceptional coffee" and its "warm, welcoming atmosphere" to work or enjoy the weather.
It's a "fun, quick stop" to see "many fairy sculptures" and "folksy art" in a garden tucked behind a house.
Come here for the "best cinnamon roll in Iceland" with "warm caramel" and a "great selection of fresh bakery fare" for a quick stop.
Skies changed every hour on our south coast days, which meant some viewpoints we had planned for photos were fogged out completely by the time we arrived. Akureyri at the end was calmer and the farewell dinner there was a genuinely lovely way to close the trip, so the middle stretch is really the only complaint.
Harpa concert hall's glass panels catching the evening light was an unexpectedly romantic Reykjavik moment.
Adventure honeymoon idea worked out better than we imagined, Seljalandsfoss's spray soaking us both while laughing is a memory we still bring up months later.
Thingvellir's history and geology moved us both more than we'd expected, but the roadside cafes on the south coast charge a small fortune and the coffee near Vik was frankly terrible for the price.
Godafoss waterfall was quieter and more peaceful than the more famous stops earlier in the trip, a nice romantic pause before heading further north.
Self drive portions of this route gave us real freedom to stop wherever the view demanded it.
