Despite becoming mainstream over the past decade or so, much of Iceland seems untouched until you visit the usual spots listed in everybody's and their mother's travel blogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truth be told, I've had the fortune of visiting Iceland twice. If I had to pick my favorite country, it's probably still Iceland, but I'm afraid to visit again because the secret is out of on it's true magic and only continues to grow with the recent surge of Akureyri as this vibrant village opened their airport to commercial flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, that begs the question, which side of Iceland should you visit? It's still true that most travelers will fly into Keflavik, where Reykjavik typically makes the most sense as your base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon.jpg\" alt=\"Woman in swimwear entering Iceland's famous Blue Lagoon\" class=\"wp-image-204810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-728x728.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-960x960.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-1080x1080.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Woman in swimwear entering Iceland's famous Blue Lagoon\" class=\"wp-image-204810 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-300x300.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-1024x1024.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-150x150.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-768x768.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-728x728.jpg.webp 728w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-960x960.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon-1080x1080.jpg.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.traveloffpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woman-in-swimwear-entering-Icelands-famous-Blue-Lagoon.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Problem being Reykjavik has become as touristy as any of Iceland's popular waterfalls, landmarks, and world-famous Blue Lagoon &mdash; and the sky-high prices definitely reflect the supply and demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first visited Iceland, I scored a comfortable boutique hotel under $40.
