GUIDE TO : THE ULTIMATE 7 DAY ICELAND HONEYMOON ITINERARY

---

Iceland at its best, and we’ve compiled the perfect 7 day trip for thrill-seeking newlyweds to see and do it all. Picturise a country-wide road trip through isolated panoramas, filled with adventurous days exploring impressive natural wonders, and romantic Northern Lights in quaint countryside accommodations.

Ring Road drives throughout the entire perimeter of Iceland. On this road there are fantastic eateries, scooting waterfalls, lava formations, hot springs, ice glaciers, cosy cabins, seemingly out-of-this-world photo opportunities, and plenty more natural wonders. Iceland is short on public transport, so we recommend driving Ring Road to explore the entire country.

DAY 1: Reykjavik

The capital of Reykjavik is a short drive from the airport and makes for a great origin point. Take some time to decompress from your flight and check in to your accommodation before exploring this colourful and walkable capital city.

Later, head toward Hallgrimskirkja Church and largest church in the country) to snap photos of the wonderful city from the church’s observation area. Note any special streets you want to explore, and then get back in the grid. Gear up on some Icelandic apparel in any of the outdoor shops along Skólavödustígur and Laugavegur streets, then visit the beautiful Harpa Concert Hall for a tour. Later enjoy the evening relaxing at your hotel.

---

CAR RENTAL

---

Rent a car in advance, equip it with GPS, and add on a 4G mobile hotspot to stay connected if necessary. You’ll enjoy the varying Icelandic landscape and many scenic main towns and villages along the way any time of year, but a special bonus if you travel between September-April to catch the rolling Aurora Borealis light show. Pack up, strap in, and prepare to tour through the land of fire and ice.
