It's situated 70 kilometres northeast of the country's capital, Reykjavik - Southern Iceland.
There's nothing that compares to enjoying coastal breezes by the ocean. While you're here, spend a few hours at Nautholsvik Geothermal Beach, 70 kilometres to the southwest.
You won't have to be stuck in a car all day to see a bit of nature. Just 45 kilometres out of Reykholt, Thingvellir National Park is a lovely place to kick back and relax. More delightful surrounds are waiting for you at Hraunfossar, 12 kilometres away.
Go to the Snorrastofa to reflect and fully embrace the area's culture.
If your trip happens to coincide with the snow season, you'll see many powder hounds loading up their cars and heading over to Skalafell Ski Area.
Want to venture outwards a bit? Borgarnes is 20 kilometres to the west of Reykholt and Saurbaer is 35 kilometres to the southwest. Hop in the car and find out what's out there!
Heading to Hveragerdi? This place is 70 kilometres to the south. If you're setting up base here, make sure you check out Reykjadalur Valley, the LA Art Museum and Geothermal park. Also consider stopping in at Hveragerdi Church and the Listasafn Árnesinga.
Your eyes shouldn't get to have all the fun while visiting Western Region. Give your taste buds a little loving too by sampling the local food and drink. After all, you can't say you've truly experienced a destination until you've tasted its flavours.
Looking for an introduction to the regional cuisine? We suggest you get a taste for lamb and root vegetables, two essential ingredients used in a range of dishes here.
No food-loving adventurer would visit Reykholt without tucking into a few of the culinary specialties, such as saltfiskur (dried and salted fish) and harofiskur (jerky type fish).
Mondlukaka (almond cake) is a dessert that summarises this place in a single mouthful. Put in an order for a serving and then get another one to go!
If you have the good luck to be in Reykholt on the 17th of June, get ready to let your hair down! Independence Day sees crowds of people celebrating this auspicious date.
It might be time to pack up and go, but it doesn't have to be forever. Why not save your spare Icelandic krónurs for another getaway to this captivating region?
Making it to your plane on time can sometimes be an ordeal. That being said, you'll be fine if you've made a plan. The closest terminal, Keflavik International Airport (KEF), is 100 kilometres to the southwest.
