Things to Do in Reykjavik

Iceland’s well-known geothermal pools will certainly help you unwind. There are dozens bubbling out in and around the city, and the hot waters are said to have any number of restorative properties.

Architecturally stunning, Reykjavik’s largest church took 38 years to build. Views from the top of the city and the surrounding area are, naturally, absolutely spectacular.

Shop by day, party by night, is the mantra of this the “nightlife capital of the north.” The restaurants on this main shopping street transform into bouncing bars and cool clubs in the evenings.

A whole host of bilingual exhibits and interactive displays trace Iceland’s path from its origins as a small settlement right up to the present day.

Reykjavik could stake its claim to being a party destination on the basis of this night alone! As New Year’s Eve is the only time Icelanders can buy fireworks, they make the most of it with one of the world’s biggest displays.
