Chasing Rainbows & Sweet Moments in Reykjavik ☕️✨🏳️🌈
There’s something magical about slow mornings in a new city — and this one started with a warm coffee at our Airbnb ☕️. No rush, just the comforting smell of freshly brewed coffee and the excitement of another day in Reykjavik.
Our first stop was the vibrant and iconic Rainbow Street 🏳️🌈 — a must-see that absolutely lives up to the hype. As we strolled up Skólavörðustígur, the colorful pathway led us straight to the majestic Hallgrímskirkja Church ⛪. Naturally, we couldn’t resist taking that signature photo right in the middle of the rainbow, with the church standing tall in the background — such a dreamy view for the feed! 📸
Of course, a little photoshoot session followed — the pastel houses, quirky shopfronts, and cheerful energy made every corner picture-perfect. Reykjavik really knows how to serve charm and color in every direction!
We wandered into so many cute souvenir shops 🛍️ — each filled with Icelandic wool, puffin-themed goodies, volcanic rock trinkets, and cozy knits. Every shop felt like a tiny world of handmade treasures.
Next, we found ourselves strolling down Pingholt Street — quiet, peaceful, and full of local charm. It was the kind of street where you slow down without even trying, just admiring the cozy homes and little details.
To end our walk on a sweet note, we stopped by Valdís Gelato — because let’s be real, it’s never too cold for ice cream in Iceland! 🍦 Their flavors were fun and surprising (try the licorice if you’re feeling brave), and the scoop totally hit the spot.

Reykjavik isn’t about rushing — it’s about wandering, discovering, and savoring the simple moments.
From rainbow strolls to gelato giggles, today was full of joy, color, and calm.
