The top rated restaurants run about $100 for their tasting menus.
(Its an island without much farmland, point out a few readers.)
Dont bother with the pricey 24/7 one (the green one) that is downtown.
I was in complete awe by the mountains, volcanoes, plains and gorgeous scenery.
Its worth the trip further south/east down to the glacier lagoons, waterfalls, and diamond beach, saysshockwaver.
Its hard to base yourself in Reykjavik and explore the whole island, saysJames.
Take a shuttle from the airport, because a cab is $130, saysAGH.
Fuel is DRASTICALLY cheaper at Costco than elsewhere, saysNotADentist.
Plus lots of traffic tips.
HOLY SHIT DONT GO DURING EASTER!
Easter is some kind of super holiday in Iceland, and places .
If you come during the summer months, saysSantos L. Halper, bring a sleeping mask.
The music scene in Reykjavik is fantasticits a great mix of traditional and experimental, saysllaalleell.
Definitely see a show at Harpa if you have a chance, especially the symphony.
But live music is not hard to find.
(This comment has loads of tips about local attractions.)
Icelanders have a very dry humor, saysBjartur.
In Particular
Visit the Phallological Museum, saysbeervendor.
Its expensive, small, and often crowded.
It is actually pretty interesting.
Maybe on your 3rd day in the city.
Or if you REALLY love dicks.
On the way out, get a few bottles of Black Death and get the back story, saysKalvan.
A nice aquavit key in liqueur.
Id recommend stopping byIcelandic Street Foodfor either lamb or fish soup, saysshockwaver.
The lamb soup was absolutely amazing!
Plus, they give you free refills on your soup.
Be sure to bring your own conditioner, as the water tends to make your hair tangle.
Or, sayskylf, Go to a municipal pool.
Would highly recommend theoutdoor pool at Hofsos, saysJudge.
Highly recommend theSettlement Exhibition, saysBjartur.
