For people travelling to Reykjavik, what would you recommend they experience in the capital and its vicinity? “In Reykjavik, I would advise them to go to the top of Hallgrimskirkja church or Perlan to enjoy the view of the city. Reykjadalur valley, which is only a short drive from the capital, is great for a walk outside in nature, and afterwards you can bathe in the hot stream that runs through it. Selja­landsfoss waterfall is well known, and likewise the Secret Lagoon by Fludir. The Golden Circle is a classic and Laugarvatn Fontana spa is well worth a dip.
