What you’ll do

If you want to travel around Iceland in 10 days, you'll have enough time to do the whole ring road. It's the perfect amount of time to experience all Iceland has to offer without having to rush too much.

You'll arrive at Keflavík International Airport and from there you can drive around the Reykjanes Peninsula. For some reason many people skip this peninsula and go straight to Reykjavík, but I think it is so worth to visit this area!
