Reykjavik — 5 nights

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Lake Tjornin and The Statue of Leif Eiriksson.

There's lots more to do: let your taste buds guide you at a local gastronomic tour, explore and take pictures at Bridge Between Continents, pause for some serene contemplation at Hallgrimskirkja, and have some family-friendly fun at FlyOver Iceland.
