I was in Iceland for a few days and did a few excursions during my stay. One of the most popular day trips in the country is a trip around the Golden Circle.

I wrote about my experience exploring the Golden Circle.

One of the most famous regions in Iceland is the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Here you'll find dramatic landscapes, a black sand beach, unique rock formations, and waterfalls just to name a few things you'll see and experience. I included a Snæfellsnes tour in my itinerary when I planned my trip to Iceland.

It was too expensive to rent a car as a solo traveler, so I settled for the second best thing and joined a day trip to Snæfellsnes from Reykjavik. 

The first time I sae views of Landmannalaugar online, I decided that I'll include it if I ever got the chance to visit Iceland. Thankfully, I was able to go in a trip to Europe. I had to plan my trip around summer because it was the only time when the roads to the area are open. Once autumn and winter set in, the roads are frequently closed.

If you're short on time, I would recommend a day trip to Landmannalaugar from Reykjavik.

I knew Iceland was an expensive country to visit but I was determined to see its spectacular landscape and experience what the country has to offer.
