BONUS LIST: Reykjavik Itinerary Planning – Other Suggestions
As mentioned in the main blog post, I have compiled a list of possible suggestions for things to add to your itinerary.

That said, I have linked each website and location so I’m sure you will find any information you may need - please enjoy!
