Other spots by passportarchives

This restaurant is the only one open till late in Selfoss, and it has amazing quality food. The portions are nice, the flavors on spot.

Centrum Kitchen & Bar

This restaurant has a menu that changes often and with dishes that mix different flavors. The prawns are delicious if you want to taste some sea flavor. If not, their burger is also a classic. A little pricey but so good.

Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur

This hot-dog stand dates to 1937 and it has simple but delicious hot dogs. You’ll probably have to wait in line a bit, but it’s worth it.

Pósthús Food Hall & Bar

This food hall has a mix of various cuisines: Mexican, Japanese, British, Italian, Chinese, and Icelandic. The food is good, the portions are generous and the staff is quick and friendly.

Sólheimajökull

This glacier has great views. You can hike to the base or go on top of it. It’s a place where you need to be careful, so pay attention to the signs.

Fardagafoss Waterfall

An easy hike leads to this waterfall, with a smaller waterfall and a canyon along the way. Great views.

A waterfall that is often skipped in the biggest tours, so it’s quieter and less crowded. The trails getting there are beautiful.

Solheimasandur Plane Wreck

These remains of a plane wreck make an interesting stop. You get ocean to one side and hills to the other. Pretty dramatic.

These thermal baths are surrounded by nature. The facilities are clean and comfy, and they have a sauna and a cold plunge.

Klifbrekku kaskade Waterfalls

A beautiful waterfall surrounded by mountains. It takes some effort to get there, but the views alone make it so worth it.

Similar Spots

Hrunalaug Hot Spring

Such a nice hot spring with three small bathing areas, off the beaten path and very Icelandic in feel. Warm water, mossy stones, steam in the cold air, quiet and simple, incredible. Clean changing rooms and a welcoming reception, small and local, worth the detour. ♨️Kind of a hidden hot springs in Iceland.

Piscinas Naturais da Barra da Lagoa

These natural pools are accessible after a short hike and offer clear waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

Seltún Geothermal Area

Part of the Krýsuvík field on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Boiling mud pots. Hissing steam vents. Hot springs staining the ground yellow, red and white. A vivid, high energy landscape. 🌋

A large hot spring pool in the Geysir Geothermal Area. The name means King’s Spring, after King Christian IX who visited in 1874. Clear water at near boiling shows the heat beneath even when the surface is calm. 🌋

Iceland’s most famous geothermal spa set in a stark lava field on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Milky blue water rich in silica and algae. A calm, steamy scene with modern facilities.

The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s most famous spots. With warm milky-blue water at around 37–39°C and dark rocks, this spot is perfect for relaxing. It’s more of a luxury spa than a wild hot spring, so expect crowds during high season and higher prices. Still it’s worth visiting at least once, especially if you go early in the day. They also give you a face mask (the silica mud mask leaves your skin feeling incredible).

A geothermal spa located in southwestern Iceland, in a lava field. The warm, mineral-rich waters are perfect for soaking.

Alright, so this is like the Blue Lagoon but quieter and with an infinity pool looking over the ocean. Warm water, fresh air, and just amazing views. And they have this whole seven-step ritual where you go from hot to cold. Super relaxing.
