8. One of very few places to spot seals in West Iceland and by far the best one. It is difficult to say if the seals here at Ytri Tunga are more curious or the people watching them. On a sunny day they can bee seen laying on the rocks relaxing and enjoying the sun and on a windy day more oftern swimming so close to the beach that you feel youy can almost reach out and pat them on the head.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.

The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.

Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
