Reykjavik capital city of Iceland

Reykjavik is the size of a town with the attractions of a city

When visiting you are likely to be drawn to stay in the capital city of Iceland. Not least as the main Keflavik Airport is just outside the city centre. Most visitors will chose to base themselves in Reykjavik and then explore the wider Iceland from there.

In Reykjavik you’ll find restaurants, bars, shops, museums and transport links to the rest of Iceland including a small domestic airport. If you are only visiting for a weekend, you’ll find plenty to occupy you in the town with options to take a tour of the golden circle, go whale watching or visit the blue lagoon, all leaving from Reykjavik.

This page is in progress and will become a source of information about the town itself and what you can do here and where to stay. For now you can use our page on luxury hotels in Reykjavik to help you choose a place to stay or if you are unsure which area you want to stay in Reykjavik then you can use our areas of Reykjavik page.
