Reykjavík is the nation’s capital and main hub in almost every sense of the word. It is the closeness to nature that makes Reykjavík truly special. Surrounded on three sides by the sea and dutifully watched over by the kindly but imposing hulk of Mount Esja, visitors are constantly reminded that this city lies on the edge of a grandiose, yet far from uniform, land.

Situated on a peninsula, the visitor is never far from the sea in Reykjavík. The old wooden buildings and fishing village atmosphere of the old town only serve to enhance that sensory connection with the city’s history. It is tempting to describe Reykjavík as the modern capital trying to squeeze into the ancient fishing village, but in reality the rapid expansion of the city has left the ancient fishing village struggling to remain the focus of the modern capital.

Reykjavík offers an exceptionally wide variety of museums, galleries, theatres and cinemas, as well as a lake in the city centre, parks and scuplture gardens. It also has shopping down to a fine art; its main shopping street is an odd but pleasing mix of local and international names in the fashion world, as well as gift shops, art shops and much more. Some of Reykjavík´s biggest claims to fame are its pleasant cafés, its crazy nightlife and its bewildering array of world-class restaurants. All year round visitors can enjoy a multitude of various events and festivals.

Every season has its own unique charm; the summer brings 24 hours of daylight, while winter ushers in the beautiful Northern Lights. Enjoy all the natural treasures that Reykjavík and its surroundings have to offer.
