Yes the 7 step spa is amazing. You should try this even after going to Blue Lagoon. It’s a different experience.

This was definitely the most unique and fascinating experience of my trip to Iceland! I thought it might be a niche attraction, but I was surprised by how rich and profound its content was. The museum houses a wide variety of specimens, from whales to humans, perfectly blending curiosity, science, and humor. The explanations are detailed and the layout is clear, not at all cheesy, but instead full of educational value and a sense of the wonder of life. The gift shop's creative souvenirs are truly hilarious. If you're tired of the usual natural scenery, a visit here will definitely bring you unexpected joy and reflection. Highly recommended for all open-minded travelers!

This museum is definitely worth the price of admission, and buying family tickets online is significantly cheaper than visiting the museum. The aurora, volcano, and ice cave experiences are truly breathtaking. It's a must-see for families. The rooftop observation deck is also worth a visit.

The Northern Lights Center in Reykjavik, Iceland. According to the locals, this place is an aurora viewing center established by four young people. The most important thing to do when going to Iceland is to chase the aurora. This place is in a great location to watch the laser-shaped aurora.

Hallgrímskirkja, a landmark building with Icelandic characteristics, is named after the renowned Icelandic writer Hallgrím Pietersson. Its unique structure fully demonstrates Icelanders' unique insights and pursuit of architectural art.

Gullfoss is one of the three famous waterfalls in Iceland. You can hear the rumbling sound of rushing water in the valley from a distance. When you get closer, you can feel the spectacular scenery of the whole waterfall. The rapid water flows down with a drop of about 50 meters. The waterfall is like a rolling torrent, roaring.

The 50-minute program started with an explanation, followed by a video clip, and then an introduction to the process of lava flowing out and cooling down. It was quite informative, and you could really feel the heat of the lava.

Highway 1 is a must-go road to Iceland. The road is mostly covered with grasslands. The scenery is not special, but it is very interesting to see such a vibrant scene at the northern end of the earth.

Lake Thorning in Reykjavik is the tourist bus terminal and a tourist attraction. It is worth staying for a while to see it. My hotel is very close to here, so I stay here for a while before and after leaving every day. When the sun sets, countless birds and poultry will inhabit the lake, which is quite spectacular.
