Where to start
Start with a few route-shaping sights.
Use these as quick entry points. The full attraction list is in the searchable results below.
Gullfoss Waterfall
Gullfoss is the Golden Circle waterfall that feels powerful even on a short stop, but it is best planned with viewpoint time, weather, and nearby stops in mind.
Reynisfjara
Reynisfjara is a dramatic South Coast black sand beach near Vík, currently best treated as a viewpoint-first stop because surf, erosion, and warning lights control access.
Dynjandi
Dynjandi is the signature Westfjords waterfall, reached by a short uphill walk past smaller cascades to a broad, thunderous main fall.
Diamond Beach
Diamond Beach is the black-sand shoreline beside Jökulsárlón where glacier ice can wash ashore, creating one of the South Coast’s most changeable photo stops.
Hallgrímskirkja
Hallgrímskirkja is Reykjavík’s landmark church, with a sculptural exterior, spare interior, large organ, and tower view over the city.
Lóndrangar
Lóndrangar is a pair of basalt sea stacks on the Snæfellsnes coast, best experienced from the marked cliff viewpoints and nearby coastal paths.

Hvítárvatn
Hvítárvatn is a remote glacial lake beside Langjökull in the Highlands, worth adding when a Road 35 day already has the vehicle, weather, daylight, and route purpose to support it.

Þjórsárver
Þjórsárver is a protected wetland oasis in Iceland's central Highlands, worth considering only when your route, vehicle, weather margin, and respect for nesting-sensitive terrain make a remote stop sensible.
