We flew from Boston to Reykjavik via Iceland Air. We stayed on the outskirts of the city at Loftleider Hotel, which was owned by Iceland Air. This resulted in a relatively inexpensive vacation. Photo 1 shows the Loftleider Hotel, as taken from the Pearl, an observatory-like building situated on an adjacent hillside. Photo 2 shows the view from our hotel, looking towards a small airport (not the one we used).
To maximize our short stay in Iceland, we went on three different bus tours, all via Reykjavik Excursions.
