Fit the evening around your actual route

Vök Baths is a separate drive from all three stays, about five minutes from downtown Egilsstaðir. Its current FAQ says entry slots are limited and walk-ins are not accepted from 1 June to 31 August, so book a time before arranging the evening. If you plan to eat at Vök Bistro, reserve a table separately; the FAQ recommends that too.
