Welcome to Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital. This city full of fantasy is like a pearl embedded on the edge of the Arctic Circle, exuding a unique and charming charm. Next, let me take you to explore the wonderful scenery of Reykjavik. When we step into this city, the first thing we feel is its fresh and unique atmosphere. Reykjavik's architectural style is unique, and its colorful houses are scattered throughout the city, like a fairyland of building blocks. These buildings are not only brightly colored, but also very practical, able to withstand Iceland's harsh climate. Our first stop is Reykjavik's landmark building, Hallgrímskirkja. This magnificent church took decades to build, and its design inspiration comes from Iceland's volcanoes and glaciers. The exterior of the church resembles a giant pipe organ, with clean lines and a sense of power. Stepping inside the church, the tall space and exquisite stained glass windows make you feel like you are in a sacred art hall. Climb to the top of the church, and you will have a panoramic view of the entire Reykjavik city and its surroundings. The distant snow-capped mountains, glaciers, and red-roofed houses of the city complement each other, creating a picturesque landscape. Leaving the church, we head to Reykjavik's old town. The streets here are narrow and winding, full of historical charm. The shops along the street are close to each other, selling various specialty products, such as hand-knitted sweaters, exquisite silver jewelry, and souvenirs with Icelandic characteristics. Here, you can also taste authentic Icelandic cuisine, such as smoked lamb, grilled cod, and various fresh seafood. These delicacies are not only delicious, but also carry the life wisdom and historical heritage of the Icelandic people. Reykjavik is known as the "smoking city" because of its abundant geothermal resources. In every corner of the city, you can see the steam rising from the hot springs, as if it were a fairyland shrouded in mist. The Blue Lagoon is one of the most famous hot springs in Reykjavik. It is located in a volcanic rock desert, and the lake water is a charming blue, hence the name Blue Lagoon. The lake water is rich in minerals such as silicon and sulfur, and has a high medicinal value. It is very effective for skin diseases and arthritis. When you soak in the warm lake water, feeling the tranquility and power of nature around you, all your fatigue will instantly disappear. In addition to hot springs, Reykjavik's natural scenery is also breathtaking. On the outskirts of the city, you can admire the magnificent glaciers, rushing waterfalls, active volcanoes, and vast tundra. These unique natural landscapes are like nature's masterpieces, showcasing the wonder and greatness of the earth. Reykjavik is also a city full of cultural vitality. It has numerous museums, art galleries, and theaters, showcasing Iceland's rich history, culture, and modern art achievements. Whether you are interested in history or modern art, you can find your own fun here. At night, Reykjavik is a dreamlike world. In winter, when night falls, as long as the weather is clear, you have the opportunity to witness the mysterious and magnificent aurora borealis. Green, purple, and red lights dance in the night sky, as if nature is drawing a magnificent scroll in the sky. At this moment, you will feel the infinite charm of nature and the vast mystery of the universe.

Speaking of Iceland, the northernmost country in the world, Reykjavik’s urban attractions are concentrated. The last map of the urban attractions is attached. But to be honest, I can’t find a food that makes me come back endlessly🫠 But in the cold weather, the bread bowl of soup in picture 2 is what I remember to this day. Svarta Kaffio🍞🥣 📍Laugavegi 54\101 There are mutton/beef soup and vegetable soup priced at about NT$800/HKD 200. Rainbow Street🌈 is one of the must-see attractions in Reykjavík (P3-P5). With the colorful little houses on the street, it feels like being in a fairy tale world. But Rainbow Street is not as long as expected. There are many souvenir shops in that short stretch. At the end of Rainbow Street is Hallgrim Cathedral (P5). Entry to the church is free, and the viewing platform ticket is free. It's 1000 kroner for adults. Tjörnin also goes to Swan Lake when the sun is shining. You can see scenes from the fairy tale world and you will definitely not be disappointed. Phallological Museum (P8), the only one in the world, has pictures, statues, etc., as well as many souvenirs. The entrance fee is 3,000 kronor. #globaltravel #icelandgoodplaces #reykjavik #icelandrestaurant

#church #100WaysToTravel #100WaysToTravel #iceland The very eye-catching normal distribution design is located in the center of the capital Reykjavik and is the largest church in Iceland. Its shape is like an organ, symbolizing Iceland's alpine glaciers. It is one of the most representative landmark buildings in the area and is named after the Icelandic writer of the same name to commemorate his contribution! 🌟You can visit this Lutheran church for free. If you want to climb to the top, go to the gift shop on the left side of the entrance to buy tickets. There is an elevator to overlook the entire Lei City (I kind of regret why I didn't go up at the beginning)~ 🌟 The bell rings every half an hour, and the whole city nearby has a fairy-tale feel. The pedestrian street opposite the church is the colorful Rainbow Street, with many small shops to visit. Souvenirs are cheaper here💕

It was a trip Reykjavik, Iceland 🇮🇸 with friends. It is a nature-focused summer trip after living in city centre for so long. We began our trip by heading to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Our first stop was the iconic Kirkjufell Mountain 🏔️ Known for its perfect cone shape, it’s one of Iceland’s most picturesque locations 📸 A short walk takes you to Kirkjufellsfoss, a stunning waterfall with Kirkjufell as the backdrop. We recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid crowds. 📍Kirkjufell, Grundarfjörður 💰Free We also explored Snæfellsjökull National Park, where the landscape is shaped by the powerful Snæfellsjökull glacier. We hiked through lava fields, see seabird colonies, and even take a glacier tour 🙌 We opted for the Vatnshellir Cave Tour, a guided exploration into the lava tubes below the park. 📍Snæfellsnesvegur, 356 Snæfellsbær 💰ISK 4,500 (USD 34) for the cave tour We went for a beautiful coastal walk from Arnarstapi to Hellnar. The 2.5 km trail along the cliffs offers panoramic ocean views and unique basalt formations. The cliffs are alive with seabirds, making this a perfect spot for birdwatchers. 📍Arnarstapi, 350 Snæfellsnes 💰 Free We spent a night at The Red House in Hellnar, a charming guesthouse nestled right on the edge of nature. The house’s rustic style and cozy interior were the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the peninsula. Sitting on the porch and watching the midnight sun over the ocean 🌊 was unforgettable ❤️❤️❤️ 📍The Red House, Hellnar, 356 Snæfellsnes 💰ISK 15,000–20,000 (USD 110–150) per night We also drove along Hvalfjörður Fjord, an often-overlooked gem of Iceland. The drive itself was tranquil, with hardly any traffic, making it an ideal escape into nature. We made several stops along the way to enjoy the peaceful shores and spot seals basking in the sun. 📍 Hvalfjörður, 301 Akranes 💰Free We also hiked to Glymur Waterfall, the second tallest waterfall in Iceland, cascading from a height of 198 meters. The trail takes you through a scenic valley, crossing rivers and weaving through birch forests 🌳 before opening up to reveal the spectacular falls. The hike is moderately challenging, but the breathtaking views are more than worth the effort. I recommend sturdy hiking boots 🥾 and bringing plenty of water. 📍Glymur, Botnsdalur Valley, 301 Hvalfjörður 💰 Free We then drove further inland to visit Hraunfossar, a series of small waterfalls that flow out of the Hallmundarhraun lava field, and Barnafoss, a more powerful waterfall with a tragic folklore attached to it. The clear blue waters and surrounding greenery in summer made it one of the most beautiful places we visited 😍😍😍 📍Hraunfossar, 320 Reykholt 💰 Free The trip took us deep into Iceland’s rugged and untouched landscapes, with a focus on hiking, waterfalls, and unique geothermal areas. It was a perfect nature-based Icelandic adventure. #closetonature #trip #nature

Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre A stunning example of modern architecture The unique architectural design of this new concert hall in Reykjavik stands out from the rest of the city. The interior of the building is equally spectacular and its structure is very unique. One side is made of glass and metal columns, and the two side walls from ceiling to floor are made of many different shapes of glass. Because the glass panels that form the exterior honeycomb effect are transparent, the glass walls reflect the surrounding water and light, providing views of the harbor in all directions. The ceiling is made of metal parts. I don't know how to describe it, but it's very entertaining. We enjoyed viewing the interior and exterior of the structure at different times of the day. There are conference and performance venues within Haapan, as well as a fine restaurant on the third floor, which is rumored to have a stunning view of the harbor. Although Reykjavik has hundreds of years of history, the city feels very fresh. The Harpa complex adds vitality and youthfulness to this great city. The concert hall has a great gift shop selling local crafts. Even if your stay is short, be sure to visit and walk into this building. If you are able, it is definitely worth coming here to see a show. #modernarchitecture #iceland #reykjavik #concerthall #exhibitionhall #glassworld

As an animal lover, the zoo is a must-visit place. This is a very small park but if you like animals then it is clearly worth it. The animals were well cared for and were all happy. We saw some close encounters with Icelandic wildlife – seals, reindeer, mink, Icelandic horses, a “blue” Arctic fox and some farm animals that were kept indoors for the winter along with some very cute critters. I recommend watching the seals being fed, they are quite entertaining. There are cafes and toilet facilities on site, and the prices are not as expensive as those in foreign zoos. We also saw some adorable house cats, which received a lot of attention from visitors! #zoo #iceland #reykjavik #citypark #good place for family fun #farmanimals

#roadtrip During my summer vacation, I embarked on a Ring Road trip around Iceland, and it was truly an unforgettable adventure. The Ring Road, which circles the entire island, is about 1,332 kilometers long and offers an incredible array of landscapes. There’s no entrance fee for driving the road itself—just the costs for fuel and various attractions along the way. 🚗🌋 From the otherworldly landscapes of Thingvellir National Park to the majestic waterfalls of Gullfoss and Seljalandsfoss, every turn on the Ring Road revealed something spectacular. The black sand beaches of Vik and the stunning Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon were particular highlights, each offering unique and breathtaking scenery. Nearby, the geothermal baths at Myvatn and the charming city of Reykjavik provided relaxing breaks from the road. The journey also took me past numerous hot springs and volcanoes, making the whole trip feel like a tour through a living, breathing natural wonder. If you love nature and adventure, the Ring Road is a must-do experience. #trip #RingRoadIceland #IcelandAdventure #ScenicDrive #NaturalWonders #TravelIceland

Iceland Glacier Hiking - Exploring the Wonders of Glaciers After exploring hot springs and northern lights in Iceland, we decided to embark on a challenging glacier hiking trip today. In the morning, we took an off-road vehicle to the Vatnajökull glacier. As the car slowly drove towards the foot of the glacier, the surrounding scenery became more and more magnificent, and a vast white world gradually appeared before our eyes. After arriving at the glacier, we first received guidance from a professional tour guide and had our equipment checked. Putting on crampons and picking up ice axes, we carefully walked into this glacial wonder. The steep glacier surface is full of cracks and ice holes, and we need to be extremely careful with every step. Climbing to the top of the glacier and looking at the surrounding glacier scenery, we couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The deep cracks cutting through the glaciers, the spectacle of ice cones scattered everywhere, and the lakes dotted in the distance form a breathtaking natural picture. In this glacial world, we seem to be brought into another world through a time tunnel. Quiet, cold, yet full of primitive vitality. Such a unique experience will definitely become the most unforgettable memory of our trip to Iceland. #followstar #trip #2024travelwish #foodphotography #6月好去地方2024 #RegisterJuneHotelTestSleeper

A fairy-tale like dreamy city, where the road ends with the sea and snow-capped mountains. This is the northernmost capital in the world and the first stop on my journey through Iceland. Here, there are houses with vibrant colors, a church with a structure similar to basalt rock formations, poetic and picturesque scenery accompanied by snow mountains, and I am deeply healed by the beauty before me. In this candy-like dazzling city, just wandering around can yield beautiful photos. Everywhere the eye reaches is a landscape, unfolding around the Hallgrimskirkja Church. To the left, at the end of the road, there is the sea, and also snow mountains, straight ahead there will be a rainbow road, and with a 5x zoom on the phone, you can even capture a close-up of the church. When you take the elevator to the top of the church, you can overlook the entire city. The colorful houses are even more charming, resembling the healing scenes only found in comics.

Visiting the Vatnajökull Glacier is an astonishing adventure. Standing at the edge of the glacier, I was overwhelmed by the vast expanse of snow-covered scenery. The glacial lakes and glacier tongues on the ice cap create a magnificent landscape that is hard to believe. As I climbed onto the glacier and stepped onto the pristine snow, I felt the greatness and majesty of nature. Navigating between the glaciers, I was drawn to the ancient glacial formations, deeply feeling the passage of time and the changes of the Earth. Exploring the glacier, I also learned about the importance of the ice cap for Iceland's ecosystem, and the interaction between humans and nature. This trip made me deeply appreciate the grandeur and beauty of nature, and gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of Iceland's natural landscapes. The magnificent views of the Vatnajökull Glacier will forever remain in my heart, becoming the most unforgettable memory of my journey.

I believe the Northern Lights are on most people’s bucket list for travel. For me, it is even one of the must-see sights. It is difficult to describe the route in one go. You should fly from Asia to the UK for a transfer, and then fly to the capital Reykjavik to start your journey to find the lights! 🌟 The four of us chose to drive by ourselves and also hoped to stop and visit along the way. Renting a car and refueling are definitely cheaper than joining a tour group (just not as professional as others, and seeing the aurora depends on luck). Renting a car from IceRentalCars is fast and the return point is convenient. Selfoss's orkan refueling is the cheapest~ 🌟 The Blue Lagoon is worth mentioning. You must stop to see the azure blue that looks like Tiffany blue. The fullness of the whole area looks like post-production in the photos. Feel the impact of ice and fire, and soak in a comfortable hot spring with your upper body frozen♨️ 🌟 What does the aurora look like? I am not a fan of equipment, but as long as you meet a good opportunity (there are many light-chasing apps), there is a thin smoke-like thing in the sky at the beginning. Although you have to chase it to the Straw Hat Mountain Waterfall, it suddenly changes color when you are driving. The aurora is like silk floating in the air, flowing smoothly. I heard that when the aurora is the strongest, you will see purple~sorry, I am very satisfied when I see it. I am so excited that I screamed. 🌟 Iceland has a variety of geographical landscapes. Many people start from Lei Shi and go straight to Seljalandsfoss and Gljufrabui. It is really beautiful and can’t be described. 👍👍Highly recommend Iceland #Win Hong Kong Air Tickets I want to go to Hong Kong, the place that leads Asia’s best food, drink and fun
