Reykjavik City Break Iceland w/ Optional Tour

Reykjavik, the dramatic capital of Iceland, is unique in blending natural beauty with urban charm. Dubbed the world's northernmost capital, it presents a marked balance between modern-day amenities and its deep roots in Viking tradition. Colorful rooftops, snow-capped mountains, and the North Atlantic Ocean make for a breathtaking scenario that invites travelers from all corners of the globe to visit this neck of the woods.

The city is small and walkable. Attractions include Iceland's iconic Hallgrímskirkja church, whose dramatic design is modeled on a basalt column. Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre, with its gleaming glass façade, represents the modern side of the city. History buffs will have a field day exploring the National Museum of Iceland as well as the Saga Museum, which offer rich but fascinating insights into the past of this country.

Reykjavik is also a good base to visit Iceland's magnificent natural wonders. One can easily drive to the Gold Circle, which includes the Geysir geothermal area, the elegant Gullfoss waterfall, and Thingvellir National Park, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. For more adventurous travelers, there are whale watching, northern lights excursions, and thermal baths at the fabled Blue Lagoon or some geothermal pools nearby.

Lively cultural scenes and hospitality make the city equally appealing for urban discovery. Reykjavik has a very livelier food culture, and restaurants are serving the traditional Icelandic delicacies like lamb and fresh seafood dishes together with creative Nordic cuisine. Nightlife is also energetic with bars and clubs life, under the midnight sun or all winter long. For adventure, cultural, or refreshing break, Reykjavik promises an experience unlike any other.
