Iceland 7-Day itinerary: Making The Most of Your Trip

When we travel, we all like to enjoy the place we’re visiting to the fullest. But we often find ourselves short of time, which has become a luxury nowadays. Sometimes, it’s impossible to see and do all we want, as our schedule and our budget limit us. Especially when our destination is a place full of magical places, all of them worth a visit, like Iceland. There are many things here that are not short of spectacular: glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls, geothermal baths, and much more. However, you can still see a lot with a limited amount of time. Many experts say that having a week provides plenty of time to discover many of the best places there are in Iceland. With just 7 days in this magical country, you can explore volcanic craters, geysers, glaciers, black sand beaches, and quaint fishing villages, all while immersing yourself in the local culture. In this guide, we will propose a detailed 7-day itinerary that will guide you through the best of Iceland, taking you from the iconic Golden Circle to the remote beauty of the North.
