You can stay 3 days as easily as skip it altogether. If you hate cities, it's unlikely that Reykjavik will change your mind even though it's a "small capital" with a certain charm. Activities are similar to visiting most capitals: museums, parks, downtown, restaurants/bars, monuments and walks. Still, we recommend dedicating at least half a day to gently start/end your trip. For others, we suggest staying just one day to devote more time to the rest of the island.
