Going to Iceland in April for 4 nights and 5 days..would like to see as much as possible..maybe 4 nights in 4 different areas..just not sure where to start..most likely stay the last night in Raykavik (closer to the airport)

We had our home base in Reykjavik (we rented an apartment) and rented a small car and did long day trips all over Iceland, it was very affordable and fun!

we also used Reykjavik as our home base and rented a car. The last day we booked the blue lagoon which has airport shuttle with it. Perfect way to relax before your flight

We landed at 6 AM after an overnight flight and we couldn't get into our apartment until 2 pm, so we went to The Blue Lagoon as soon as we got our rental car. Lovely way to unwind after travelling. Going before your flight home would be nice an relaxing as well. Either way, I think it is a "must do" while in Iceland.

I did 5 days and stayed in Reykjavik. You can easily do day trips from there. There are many day excursions available from the city. I did the golden circle tour, a southern iceland tour to see Vik and the black sand beaches, as well as a northern lights tour. I also did the blue lagoon which can be done on your way to or back from the airport. You can squeeze in alot if you are open to these long day excursions.

We airbnb’s it in Reykjavik and rented a vehicle for our day trips. For that short amount of time you can do the Golden Circle one day, then drive to the Snæfellsbær area for the day. Then one day to explore the city

We stayed in Reykjavik at an airbnb and rented a car to drive around and do day trips from there. It was perfect!

Weather is still sketchy in Iceland in April (still winter). I'd pick Reykjavik as a home base to take daytrips from to the South coast and West (Snaefellsnes peninsula) when the weather is nice.

Be aware, food and accommodation are pretty expensive. Take winter and rain clothing. It is a very windy island.

Perla Le airbnb was a great big saver for us then you can get some groceries at Bonus if need be. Yes food is expensive but having a kitchen helps

Best to rent a car.

Iceland is so $&!$829*! expensive. Just be ready for that.

I did 5 days, 4 nights in May last year. Stayed in Reykjavik, Fludir, Skalafel (near the glacier lagoon) and finally in Hella. It was great. Wish I had had half a day more for Reykjavik.

Hey we did 4 days in Iceland in March. It's an amazing country. Check out my blog post for more info.

Sedona and Grand Canyon. Bring warm clothing visiting the GC as the temperatures could get very cold.
