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

Fjaðrárgljúfur

A vast moss lined canyon near Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Around 100 metres deep and two kilometres long. The Fjaðrá River carved it over thousands of years at the end of the Ice Age. Green walls. A winding river. Big views. ⛰️

Drekkingarhylur

A deep pool on the Öxará River just downstream from Öxarárfoss. Calm on the surface with a heavy past. Part of the wider Þingvellir story.

Svínafellsjökull Glacier

A prominent outlet glacier in the Skaftafell area of Vatnajökull National Park. Known for striking blue ice and deep crevasses. A favourite base for guided glacier hikes and film locations. 🎬

Laufskálavarða

A lava ridge covered in historic stone cairns on the Mýrdalssandur black sand plains. Hundreds of small stacks across the dark ground. A striking sight. 🪨

On the Reykjanes Peninsula this area became famous for accessible fissure eruptions and vast new lava fields. Even when quiet the fresh black rock shows raw geology at work. 🌋

A small lava cave near Lake Mývatn with bright blue geothermal water inside. It became famous after the Jon Snow and Ygritte scene in Game of Thrones. Hidden. Atmospheric. Iceland at its most otherworldly. ❄️💧

Thingvellir is where Iceland’s first parliament met over 1,000 years ago. With cliffs and cracks between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, its trails lead through lava fields, rivers, and waterfalls like Öxarárfoss. It’s both a historic and natural highlight of the Golden Circle.

Symphony of Stones

A place of natural beauty - don't miss a trip out of the city to this canyon to see the impressive rock formations, formed from volcanic activity.

Hálsanefshellir Cave

A fascinating basalt cave right on the black sand beach near Vík. The surrounding black sand and rock beach make it unique 🌋

Strokkur Geyser

The star of Haukadalur. Erupts every 5 to 10 minutes, sending water and steam 15 to 20 metres into the air, sometimes higher. A classic show of geothermal power. 💦
