What changed: a landmark checklist now means repeated wet coats and short indoor pauses.
Drop first: the idea that every saved outdoor pin needs a visit.
Keep: one museum, public pool, food stop, or exhibition as the real activity; let nearby streets be the connection.
Check before leaving: current hours, accessibility, and whether the chosen place suits everyone.
Reykjavík plans usually go wrong by keeping too much, not by starting with too little. When wind, rain, a late check-in, or tired legs cut the usable day, protect one good main activity and remove the part that creates the most movement.
This is a drop-first list: seven common situations, the piece I would remove, and the part I would keep. Check the live weather, opening hours, and transport before leaving.
