The Perlan Museum was so cool! It’s a great place to escape the cold and learn all about the natural wonders of Iceland! Plus, they have a brand new immersive experience taking you deep in to the middle of a volcano!
Perlan
The best coffee I had while in Iceland! It’s a small little actual school bus that’s been turned in to a cafe that brings back the American 90’s while serving incredible coffee and pastries!
The American SchoolBus Cafe
A gem of a find in Iceland! While traveling back to Reykjavík from Vic, we stopped at Mia’s Country Van for the best fish and chips I’ve ever had!
