Unknowingly, many visitors are missing out big time by skipping this area!

The funny thing is, that it's right next to Keflavík International Airport, so it makes for a great first stop after landing or an easy day trip from Reykjavík.

Here are some of the sites you should check out on the Reykjanes Peninsula 👇

⛪ Hvalsneskirkja
A charming church to start the day and stretch your legs.

🌉 Bridge Between Continents
A symbolic bridge illustrating how Iceland sits on two diverging tectonic plates. Cool to see and easy to visit.

🥾 Eldborg Crater 
A short but steep hike with great views over the volcanic landscape. Nothing too strenuous, but very rewarding.

♨️ Gunnuhver and Krýsuvík 
Two fascinating geothermal areas filled with steam and boiling mudpools. 

🩵 Blue Lagoon
One of the 25 wonders of the world, and otherworldly, milky-blue, mineral-rich waters that will make your skin feel incredible. 

Save this for your Iceland trip and follow for more! 🌋
