Arrival in Iceland – The world’s northernmost capital city
Once you have landed at Keflavik Airport, please pick up your luggage and head through customs. Collect your rental car at the airport.
Travel to your hotel in Reykjavík and check-in. The rest of the day is open for your own activities. One of our favorite activities after a long flight is to visit one of the neighborhood geothermal pools. It is so refreshing to relax in the warm water, breathing in the fresh Icelandic air. It’s a wonderful way to get to see Icelandic daily life and maybe meet a few locals. It’s also nice to take a stroll in the old city center, perhaps visiting one of the museums or relaxing with a cup of coffee in a cozy café.
Please note check-in for most hotels begins at 14:00 – 16:00 (2:00pm-4:00pm)
