Reykjavik TRAVEL GUIDE AND DEALS

Its name means “smoky bay,” a reference to the mist emitted by the region’s abundance of geothermal hotspots, but Reykjavik is steamy in more ways than one. The cultural, economic, and political capital of Iceland, this cosmopolitan city is just as modern as its Scandinavian big sisters.

Why Go

Reykjavik is hot, and not just because of all of the geothermal activity here – the Icelandic capital offers lively cultural opportunities and a thriving nightlife.

Reykjavik Hotels

Reykjavik offers an array of lodging options, though none at the budget prices you can find on the European mainland. If money’s not an issue, however, and you seek something a bit avant-garde, you’ve come to the right place. If you still want to save a few bucks, consider looking into the handful of hostels sprinkled throughout the City Center.

Reykjavik Restaurants

Iceland is a secluded island, so it’s no surprise that much of its cuisine is plucked fresh from its seas. But if you’re not a fan of seafood, have no fear: Reykjavik boasts numerous other cuisines – from Thai to Italian to Middle Eastern – if you’re willing to search.
