   Reykjavik Travel Information

Reykjavik is the coastal capital of Iceland and is the world’s most northern natural capital. Reykjavík is a city famous for its natural splendor with the deep blue ocean on one side, and snowcapped mountains and lava fields on the other side. This beautiful landscape makes Reykjavik a perfect destination for the adventurous tourist who wants to indulge in a host of outdoor activities. Reykjavik's fishing industry has long been associated with the city, along with its neighboring hot springs and extremely beautiful natural scenery. During the summer, the midnight sun reigns down and keeps the city lit through the night and bustling with activity. In the winter months, it is much quieter and a good time to see the Northern Lights (aurora borealis). Many restaurants, clubs, cafes and bars in Reykjavík are located on or around the main shopping street Laugavegur. Reykjavík’s nightlife has a unique feel, and its reputation for liveliness is well deserved, especially during the endless summer nights. 

   Top Things To Do In Reykjavik

 Reykjavik has so much to offer travelers coming to Iceland for either the first or second time. Steaming geothermal pools, glaciers and over 18 public heated swimming pools, are open and enjoyed all year round. Towering over Reykjavis is the haunting Hallgrimskirkja church, highly visible throughout the city. A booming tourist industry has led to an explosion of trendy restaurants popping up throughout Reykjavik, serving everything from exotic seafood to fun pub food. Tourists will find exploring the region outside of Reykjavik can be extremely rewarding. There are many recreational activities close by, such as the Hvammsvik Outdoor Centre in Mosfellsbaer and Mount Esja. Go Ice Caving inside the tunnels of Langjokull Glacier. Splurge and take a helicopter ride to the hot springs. Drive out to River Ranga an hour drive from Reykjavik to witness the spectacular Northern Lights. In August tourists come from all over the world to immerse themselves into the famous Verslunamannahelgi Festival on Westman Island, a fun weekend of art and music that some call a cross between Burning Man and Woodstock. However, it is the steaming mineral-rich waters of the Blue Lagoon Spa at Grindavik where most people head first, and in the winter, the neighboring ski resorts of Blafjiol and Skalafell are equally popular, and in the summer, you can snorkel between the continental divide.
