🇮🇸 A day trip to Reykjavik, Iceland | A foot-sore but heart-warming adventure 🧤👣❄️ ✨ A small city with a big walk, unpredictable weather, a unique travel diary of walking until your legs are weak ✨

Although Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland, the city is small and is very suitable for a one-day trip. It is recommended to start from the landmark Hallgrímskirkja Church in the morning (⛪️) ⛪️ Hallgrímskirkja Hallgrímskirkja Church • ✅ The most representative landmark in Reykjavik • 🕒 Opening hours: 9:00–17:00 • 🎫 Tickets (tower): ISK 1,300 (about NT$300) • 📷 Stand on the top of the tower and see the whole city spread out in front of you like a fairy tale world 📝 The weather was super good at that time, with a clear sky, and my mood was also lifted! But this good weather won’t last long… ⸻ 🛍️ Laugavegur Shopping Street + ☕ Reykjavík Roasters • 🏙️ Specialty shops, graffiti walls, and designer items are everywhere • ☕ Reykjavík Roasters: Latte is about ISK 700 • 😌 Coffee aroma + warm space = energy station to replenish your legs 📝 That day, my legs were almost broken from walking, and this place just saved my life. Sitting and drinking hot coffee and watching the pedestrians outside the window was super healing ⸻ 🍲 Icelandic Street Food (lunch) • 🥄 Mutton soup/seafood soup of your choice + free soup refills • 💰 Price: ISK 1,700 (about NT$400) • 🍞 Unlimited bread and soup is super sincere 📝 I found this restaurant by accident.

The weather changed so quickly that I regretted not wearing an extra layer ⸻ 👚 Tips for onion-style dressing • 🧥 The weather changes greatly, from bright sun to biting cold wind in just one hour • ✅ Recommended dressing method: onion-style dressing (multi-layered and detachable) 📝 I was too confident at the time, and it was so cold that I just wanted to hide in the store to keep warm. The weather in Iceland is basically a little emotional concert! 😅 ⸻ 🐳 Optional: Whale watching (if you have the energy) • 🚤 Duration: about 3 hours • 💰 Price: ISK 10,000 and up • 📆 It is recommended to make an appointment in advance and decide whether to go out to sea based on the weather and waves 📝 I gave up whale watching after visiting these attractions and just wanted to lie down, but I will definitely arrange it next time! ⸻ 🍤 Dinner recommendation: Saegreifinn Sea Ba Restaurant • 🔥 The lobster soup is hot and super rich • 💰 Price: The soup is about ISK 1,800 • 🍢 It tastes best with skewers of seafood 📝 Although my legs were almost broken, I still walked over for this bowl of soup.
