Our Final Day in Iceland - Guide to REYKJAVIK + Food Tour!!!

Our last and final full day in Iceland was spent in the city of Reykjavik. Reykjavik isn't a very big city, so we recommend you only need a day to see everything.

We began our morning by getting some baked goodies from Braud & Co and followed it up with coffee from Reykjavik Roasters.

We went to see the outside of Hallgrimskirkja, the tallest church (and building) in Iceland and a famous structure in Reykjavik. Church was in service so we returned at a later time to see inside. There's a famous rainbow road that you always see pictures of, so we stopped there too to grab some pictures.

We walked maybe ten minutes from the city center to go to the Harpa Concert Hall, whose design is supposed to reflect basalt columns and see the Sun Voyager sculpture. The Sun Voyager is supposed to look like a Viking longship!

After walking back to the city center we grabbed hot dogs at a notorious hot dog cart and got rye bread ice cream at Cafe Loki.

We still had the whole other half of the day open, so we drove about 45 minutes to Thingvellir National Park. Thingvellir is the only UNESCO World Heritage site in Iceland. There is a lot to explore in the area, but we mainly went to see the Law Rock or Logberg, where Parliament meant many many years ago.

We finished our day with some more ice cream from Omnom (as well as buying a lot of chocolate). We absolutely loved their ice cream! Probably one of the best food items we got.

Then… that leads us to our final morning. We packed up everything, dropped off our rental car, and got shuffled over to the airport. We were definitely tired from all our travels but so proud of what we achieved. We drove the whole ring road in just 6 days!!! We saw so many beautiful sights that we will never forget. Iceland will always have a special place in our hearts.

Oh wow! I could absolutely go for one of those croissants I spied at the beginning 🥐! I’m not sure if you can go wrong with raspberries and custard with bread. Wowza 😮That church would be amazing to photograph a wedding at! Beautiful filling at the park. Another great video guys! ~Rachel and Andy

Were you guys covering all the places in the city mentioned here by foot ? And which camera did you use for vlogging?

[KimofCoventry]

Love this! We are looking forward to our trip in August and you have given me helpful info. I would like to point out a bit on the cairns since you showed them. I live in New England and we have many, old ones. I point out old as it’s a bad idea to build them now. Not saying you built them, just a PSA to anyone. Moving rocks disturbs the soil making the area prone to erosion and can also disturb fragile vegetation and ecosystems. Just like stepping on the moss 👍. I do agree on your “law” to give kitties homes😽❤️

Great video thank you, especially as I’m going to be there at a similar time this year! Did you buy your Lopapeysa Icelandic sweater there, and if so where and are you happy with it? Cheers from Australia!

Can you give an address that we can put in the GPS for a parking lot ...where we can park in the morning and park all day so we can walk around the city and then return to the car at the end of the night?

What was the temperature when you went?

[TheManuel]

What was the cost for the car hire per day?

[TheManuel]

In Iceland you make sure you finish everything with those prices. 😂
