An extended layover in Iceland en route from America to Europe is a brilliant idea, as it is pretty much smack in the middle and it is honestly one of the most fascinating countries I have ever been too. Icelandair understood that and is now offering up to a seven-day layover at no additional cost on many trans-Atlantic routes. Once you’re in Iceland, because of the poor public transport system outside of Reykjavik, there are two ways to explore all the things to do in Iceland: either by A – joining a group tour (and you may have read that it isn’t exactly my thing…) or B – by renting a car and doing your Iceland road trip like a big adult.

Reykjavik, Iceland is one of the latest and greatest bucket list destinations and is growing in popularity by the day. And it’s no surprise — the vast and stunning views of Iceland are better than any Instagram photo, which means you have to go and explore for yourself. If you’re planning a trip to Iceland and trying to stay on budget while doing it, some of the best hostels in Reykjavik Iceland are there just waiting to host you! Have your camera equipment charged and ready to go and enjoy a lovely stay at one of the best hostels Reykjavik has in store for you.

For such a small capital, Reykjavik boasts more vegan-friendly restaurant options that I could visit in 10 days and the options were as diverse as they are exciting. Here are my picks for vegan Reykjavik. I would love to know if I missed anything, so please let me know!
