THINGS TO SEE & DO in REYKJAVIK

TOP ATTRACTIONS

Reykjavik is a compact city, as you would expect with of a capital city with just 150,000 inhabitants (over half the country’s entire population!), which means walking around the city to see its attractions is easy.

If you like museums, there are several interesting ones to choose from, including the National Museum of Iceland, the
National Gallery of Iceland, the Reykjavik Art Museum, the Reykjavik Maritime Museum, and the Saga Museum, which displays key moments in Icelandic history and is situated in the iconic Perlan building (which offers fantastic views of the city from its 4th floor viewing deck and also contains an exclusive restaurant). Another good spot for panoramic city views is Hallgrímskirkja’s (Church of Hallgrímur) tower.

Visiting Reykjavik is perhaps more about what you can do outdoors - due to Iceland’s amazing and unusual natural beauty. So don’t forget to visit some geothermal swimming pools in the city, and join other tourists on popular and convenient day tours to go whale-watching or visit the Golden Circle route (visiting Pingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall and Geysir hot springs).

A visit to the Blue Lagoon (a steaming pool of turquoise water which you can soak in and enjoy the benefits of its “healing” minerals) is a must. As it is located near the International airport (about 45 mins. from the city), a good idea is to visit it straight after arriving or on your way back to the airport).

And then there is the weekend nightlife which starts late, but is great - and expensive (prepare yourself for £7 pints!).

Overall, Reykjavik (and the rest of Iceland) really is a a cool place to visit.
