Reykjavik - The capital of Iceland

Reykjavik is the largest city in Iceland with 135 000 inhabitants. It is a gem in the north. A charmingly grumpy little capital city embraced by the Atlantic Ocean, mountains and lava fields, it’s easy to fall in love with.

What to see & do 

Here is a selection of places to visit and things to see while in Iceland.

The blue Lagoon - just a fifteen-minute drive from Keflavík International Airport, or a thirty-minute drive from Reykjavík. The Blue Lagoon’s geothermal seawater is 70% ocean water and 30% freshwater, enriched with silica, algae, and minerals. Not only is it a delight simply to soak in, it heals, rejuvenates, and nourishes.

The Northern Light - If you’re visiting Iceland between September and April, make sure to put the Northern Lights at the top of your list of things to do in Iceland. On clear winter nights, you should have no problem finding a tour that you can join.

Hallgrímskirkja - A notable landmark, this church is situated in the middle of Reykjavík. As one of the tallest structures in the country, this tower can be seen from almost every point in the city. But of course, you need to see and explore it up close. Make sure to take in the breathtaking panoramic view of the city once at the top.
