Day 1
Reykjavik
Welcome to Iceland, home to the world’s most swoon-worthy sights. You’ll soon be heading home with a camera roll filled with epic vistas and a head full of cherished memories. But first thing’s first, it’s time to get acquainted with the quirky and colourful buildings of Reykjavik (this captivating capital is cool in more ways than one). After checking into your hostel and having time to unwind, we’ll bond over a tasty local dinner, feeling the frisson of excitement about the fine days that lay ahead of us.
