Reykjavik (and surrounding area), Iceland

An incredible family adventure. There is no other place like it on Earth. A must see!

to & from

From the East coast, take the red eye – and don’t plan anything for the day you get there so you can rest, recoup and get on local time (5 hours ahead). Icelandair has direct and easy flights from EWR and JFK.

Where to Stay

We stayed in a regular hotel about 10 mins from downtown. While there was more room there, I suggest staying right in Old Town – this hotel is great: Radisson Blu 1919 Hotel Reykjavik 
Many people who we ran in to stayed in apartments and AirBnBs so I think that is a great way to go as well.
