U.S. citizens are visa-exempt for short stays. Travelers must be able to show purpose of stay, sufficient funds, and onward/return travel. EES is fully operational and biometric registration should be expected at the first external Schengen border. ETIAS is not accepting applications as checked.

Top 5 things to do
Hallgrimskirkja
Visit Hallgrimskirkja and head up the tower for broad views across Reykjavik, the water, and surrounding mountains. It is a simple way to understand the city's scale and layout early in your stay.
Harpa and the Old Harbour
Walk from Harpa along the Old Harbour to mix striking waterfront architecture with the city's working harbor. The route is easy to fold into a central Reykjavik day and gives you plenty to see without a formal itinerary.
Golden Circle
Use a day for the Golden Circle, linking Thingvellir, the Geysir area, and Gullfoss in one route. It is an efficient way to see several of Iceland's signature landscapes while keeping Reykjavik as your base.
Sky Lagoon or a public pool
Make geothermal bathing part of your Reykjavik week, whether you choose Sky Lagoon or a public pool. It adds a distinctly Icelandic pause between sightseeing days without needing another full excursion.
South Coast day trip
Take a South Coast day trip for waterfalls, black-sand beaches, and glacier viewpoints. The route packs several very different landscapes into one outing and gives you a strong contrast with time in Reykjavik.
