The House of Collections is such a sweet and interesting gallery. If you’re in the downtown area of Reykjavik, then be sure to check it out. It was free with our admissions to the National Gallery of Iceland. One thing to note is that the facility has a lot of stairs – it’s not very accessible, so something to factor in for some folks. We followed the recommendation to start at the top and work our way down. I’ll admit, it was hard to walk…

The National Museum of Iceland is also worth checking out. It’s full of history, timelines, and all the background on how Iceland came to be – it’s fun! We visited after checking out the National Gallery of Iceland, and the walk took us about 15 minutes. We walked the long way so we could see city hall and walk by the Holavallagarour Cemetery. Again, we got the student rate – 1500 kr, or about $16.50 Canadian, and double that for adults. This museum doesn’t allow…

The National Gallery of Iceland is an awesome place to spend a couple of hours. One reason we love visiting art galleries is because you get to experience the culture and landscape through the eyes of artists – seeing the area as they do. There’s something special about it, that’s for sure. The gallery is open from 10am – 5pm each day, and you’ll get a bonus entrance to the House of Collections, too. We’re both students, so we got in for 1200 kr, or…

Braud and Co. is a must, like an absolute must if you’re a pastry, snack, or food loving person. These delicate (and sometimes vegan) treats are so good – so good we went twice! The one downside, nothing is gluten free. Oh, the coffee is, but that’s not much fun stacked up against their famous cinnamon roll. Okay, let’s check out this sweet eat shop. Braud and Co. They have a few locations around the city, yet we only ventured into the main one off…

Rainbow Street in Reykjavik, Iceland is a must see, especially if you’re in the area. We stopped by for a stroll after visiting the tower at the Hallgrimskirkja Church. The area is full of life, good vibes, and has some awesome shops to check out. Okay, I’ll share some vibrant photos below! Rainbow Street Okay, first and foremost, I’ll be shocked if you visit Reykjavik and don’t come across the famous Rainbow Street. Seriously, if you walk the common main street, the Laugavegur, you’ll come…

The Hallgrimskirkja Church offers a stunning view of Reykjavik on all four sides, plus, the church bells are worth visiting for, too! As a traveller, one of my favourite things is to get up high and see the city. After we ate at Moss and spend the afternoon at the Blue Lagoon, the church was next on our list. We visited on a Sunday and didn’t have to wait long at all. Okay, photo time! Hallgrimskirkja Church First up, head inside and buy your tickets…

Blue Lagoon in Iceland (it’s not in Reykjavik, yet it’s close – about an hour away) is a must see if you’re a bucket list type of person. For us, it was more about enjoying the day catching up and relaxing. Bryce was away from home for about 2 weeks and we met in Iceland for our off the continent vacation this year. The Blue Lagoon was our first stop – time to catch-up, relax, and simply be. While Iceland has many spas or natural…
