Reykjavik sits on Faxafloi Bay with mountains visible across the water. Small by international capital standards, it nevertheless has a confident food, music and design culture.
Experiencing the region
Museums, galleries, architecture and restaurants make the city worth exploring in its own right, while harbour experiences and coastal walks connect it naturally to the surrounding environment.
Planning your stay
Reykjavik is the logistical heart of most Iceland journeys. Two well-used nights can provide a comfortable arrival, cultural context and a strong contrast to the wilderness beyond.
