Reykjavik is the world’s most northerly capital city which blends traditional charm with cosmopolitan style.

Natural wonders such as volcanoes, mountains, glaciers, geysers, lava fields and hot springs are abundant in Iceland. This spectacular island, just below the Arctic Circle, is one of the most geologically active places in the world. The Blue Lagoon, a huge geothermal hot tub, is a must visit attraction with its water temperature of around 37°C.

Independent restaurants serve world-class cuisine, and hip bars and clubs ensure Reykjavik lives up to its party town reputation.

The winter season is when the Northern Lights are more likely to be visible. In the summer season, the sun doesn’t even set on the longest days in June so ideal if you want lots of extra time to explore Iceland.

The approximate flight time to Reykjavik is 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Reykjavík has a subpolar oceanic climate. Despite its northern latitude, temperatures very rarely drop below −15 °C (5 °F) in the winter. The city's coastal location does make it prone to wind and gales are common in the winter. Summers are cool, with temperatures fluctuating between 10 and 15 °C (50 and 59 °F), rarely exceeding 20 °C (68 °F). Reykjavík averages 147 days of rain (more than 1 mm) per year. July and August are the warmest months of the year on average and January and February the coldest.

Traditional eateries, highly-rated restaurants and cool cafés are all part of the Reykjavík food scene. Lamb stews and fermented shark are two main course favourites. Why not try the local tipple Brennivín made from caraway seeds as you explore the capital's nightlife.

Reykjavík is a shopper’s haven with the usual boutiques and stores. For an authentic Icelandic shopping experience, there’s Kolaportið flea market where you can try local delicacies and buy antiques.

Catching the bus around Iceland’s top spots is your best option for public transport when walking isn’t possible. There are several bus companies, and you can by single fares or day passes, but be aware that if the weather’s heavily snowy services can take a little longer.
