Walk through exciting Reykjavik
Breathe in the fresh air of Reykjavik, Iceland, the most northerly capital in the world and truly unique destination. Although a tiny city, Reykjavik has a big personality with its interesting culture, food, and history. After you take a free walking tour with the local guides, you’ll never want to leave. Hallgrimskirkja and statue of Leifur Eiriksson begins at the top of one of the main streets of downtown Reykjavik where you can find Laugavegur, filled with many boutiques, cafes, and bars.
Delve into Icelandic culture and join the locals at the outdoor hot pots and swimming pools or take a stroll through the weekend flea market, Kolaportid, right beside the Old Harbour. The National Museum and Saga Museum are filled with arts and history from the Viking age to modern times while Harpa concert hall is the perfect spot to catch various shows. Eat the local fare like fermented shark or dine on gourmet food at the Grillmarket.
Nature lovers also use the capital as their home base while chasing the Northern Lights, standing behind grand Seljalandsfoss, and relaxing in the Blue Lagoon. The Golden Circle in the south of Iceland is a popular route to experience a lot of the country’s landmarks like the geyser and Vík where you can find a black lava sand beach!
