Reykjavik & Reykjanes is one of those places where the obvious plan and the good plan are two different trips.

We mapped a 3-day Reykjavik & Reykjanes route ourselves, built for a long weekend, not a rushed one, built to avoid the Blue Lagoon queue from day one.

Once you've seen Reykjavik & Reykjanes done differently, going back to the standard route feels like a waste of a trip. It's free. The only cost is planning your Reykjavik & Reykjanes trip without it.
