Welcome to
Reykjavík
The world’s most northerly capital combines colourful buildings,
wild nightlife and a capricious soul to brilliant effect. Imaginative
Reykjavikers embrace their sense of community and bring a joy
to life, creating captivating museums, cool music, and offbeat
cafes and bars. Reykjavík is a superb base for touring Iceland's
natural wonders: glacier-topped volcanoes, shimmering falls
and black-sand beaches.
