You should definitely visit the Blue Lagoon when you’re in Iceland. The milky water and everything around you is like a dream. When we were in Iceland we had tons of must sees. Additionally to the Northern Lights and the Golden Circus Tour, there was also the Blue Lagoon. We blocked a whole day for the Blue Lagoon to relax and enjoy. You should at least plan 4-7 hours for the blue lagoon. Even now, I can’t believe that I really visited this place. It was on my Travel Bucket List and now I’ve gone and did it. Iceland’s Blue Lagoon, is one of the most fascinating things ever.
