🇮🇸 Discover Iceland in Miniature: A Journey Through Snæfellsnes and Hallgrímskirkja

#favouriteitinerary Snæfellsnes, often called “Iceland in miniature,” is a stunning peninsula offering a wide array of natural wonders. Located in western Iceland, it's home to dramatic landscapes, ranging from glaciers and volcanoes to lava fields and black sand beaches. One must-see landmark is Snæfellsjökull National Park, featuring the iconic Snæfellsjökull glacier, which inspired Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth. Visitors can hike around the glacier or explore the surrounding lava fields. Another highlight is the picturesque fishing village of Arnarstapi, where you can walk along dramatic sea cliffs, taking in breathtaking views of the ocean and unique rock formations. The black sand beach at Djúpalónssandur is also worth a visit. Before heading out to Snæfellsnes, don’t miss Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavik, one of Iceland’s most iconic landmarks. This striking church, with its unique design inspired by volcanic landscapes, offers panoramic views of the capital. Snæfellsnes is a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.
