Reykjavík Trips & Tours

The world's northernmost capital packs an almighty cultural punch despite its diminutive size. Rainbow-painted corrugated iron houses line streets where bearded hipsters and hardy fishermen rub shoulders. The striking silhouette of Hallgrímskirkja church dominates the skyline, while harbourside streets pulse with an energy that belies the often-brutal weather conditions. Compact enough to explore in a day yet complex enough to uncover new secrets with each visit, this is a city that marches to its own distinctly Icelandic beat. Dip into world-class museums in the morning, feast on perfectly prepared Arctic char by lunchtime, and spend evenings bar-hopping along Laugavegur before soaking weary limbs in a neighbourhood thermal pool under (possibly) aurora-painted skies. From cutting-edge Nordic cuisine to surprisingly vibrant nightlife, this pint-sized capital delivers experiences well beyond its modest dimensions.
