Roughly an hour away from the capital is Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa circled by volcanic landscapes and fed by mineral-rich seawaters. Here, you can bathe in the waters of the lagoon, revitalize with in-water treatments, unwind in sauna and steam rooms, and choose from a vast selection of massage therapies to nourish both body and mind. There are also restaurants, bars and exquisite hotels to ensure a 360-degree holiday experience. Refreshed and renewed, head back to Reykjavík to get a taste of its vibrant cultural activity. The stunning Hallgrímskirkja church is among the city’s icons, while Höfði House bears great historical importance.
