Reykjavík, the nation’s capital, serves as the main hub in almost every sense of the word. Its proximity to nature makes Reykjavík truly special. Surrounded on three sides by the sea and watched over by the imposing Mount Esja, visitors are constantly reminded that this city lies on the edge of a vast and diverse land.

Situated on a peninsula, the sea is never far away in Reykjavík. The old wooden buildings and fishing village atmosphere of the old town enhance the sensory connection with the city’s rich history. While it may seem like a modern capital trying to fit into an ancient fishing village, the rapid expansion of Reykjavík has somewhat overshadowed its historical roots.

Reykjavík boasts a wide variety of museums, galleries, theatres, and cinemas, as well as a lake in the city centre, parks, and sculpture gardens. Shopping in Reykjavík is an art form, with the main shopping street offering an eclectic mix of local and international fashion brands, gift shops, art shops, and more. The city is also famous for its charming cafés, vibrant nightlife, and an impressive array of world-class restaurants. Visitors can enjoy numerous events and festivals throughout the year.

Enjoy all the natural treasures that Reykjavík and its surroundings have to offer, making it a city that perfectly blends modernity with its timeless connection to nature.
