Iceland's capital Reykjavik is one of the most unusual cities in the world. The natural landscape is more lunar than of this earth, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Here are our suggestions for things to do in Reykjavik:

The Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon is Reykjavik's, and indeed Iceland's, most visited attraction. Located just outside the city, the geo thermally heated water is a real natural wonder. Surrounding by lava fields, this is a truly unique environment and one not to be missed. Relax in the blue waters of the lagoon or opt for one of the many complementary treatments on offer.

Northern Lights

The Northern Lights are a magical sight and one that Reykjavik’s northerly location is ideal for seeing. This spectacular mother nature light show is best viewed from outside the city so try one of the many Northern Lights tours available. An unforgettable experience.


Whale watching

Reykjavik offers some of the best whale watching in Europe. Regular tours take you out to the bay where you'll see dolphins, minke whales and maybe even the odd humpback whale. The highly recommended tours also visit Lundey island where up to 25,000 puffins huddle together.


Hallgrímskirkja

The impressive Hallgrímskirkja dominates the Reykjavik’s skyline. The Gothic church was built in the 1940's and is now one of the city's most celebrated buildings. The viewing platform in the tower offers amazing views of the city and the distant mountains.
