Experience the best of 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.
Museums tell the story of the Viking settlement and the island's sagas, and the Perlan dome offers views and exhibits on glaciers and the northern lights. Geothermal pools are a way of life, from neighbourhood swimming baths to the milky-blue lagoon in the lava fields near the airport. Whale-watching and puffin boats leave from the old harbour.
The Golden Circle, linking Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir hot springs and Gullfoss waterfall, is the classic day trip, and the south coast's waterfalls and black-sand beaches are within reach. Lamb soup, skyr and fresh fish are on most menus, and a hot dog from a harbourside stand is a Reykjavik ritual. Summer brings near-endless daylight, while long winter nights are the time to look for the northern lights.
