Reykjavik tours will take you to the hidden gems of Iceland’s capital and show you what this charming city has to offer. Delicious food, refreshing drinks, and interesting stories will follow you everywhere you go in Reykjavik. Bursting with life and culture, Reykjavik is one of the most visited cities in Europe, for good reason.
Established in the 9th century, Reykjavik is the biggest city in Iceland. Although it’s located only a few degrees south of the Arctic Circle, the climate here is gentle. The Gulf Stream brings mild temperatures to the capital, making it a popular tourist destination in both winter and summer.
Reykjavik is also one of the greenest cities in the world. With electric buses roaming the streets, and heat and electricity produced by renewable geothermal and hydropower plants, it’s on the way to become free of fossil fuels by 2050.
So enjoy the 24-hour daylight in the summer, soak in natural geothermal hot springs, and drink the world’s cleanest water during your stay. Marvel at the Northern Lights in the winter, enjoy farm-to-table cuisine, and follow in the footsteps of the Vikings — all within the boundaries of the northernmost capital of the world.
Reykjavik may be small, but it’s bursting with life and culture. With the rise of tourism in Iceland, the capital has become one of the most visited cities in Europe and for good reason.
This metropolitan hub intertwines the hustle and bustle of city life with the wild Icelandic nature. Here, you don’t have to step outside Reykjavik’s downtown to find yourself surrounded with nature.
This city has something for every kind of traveler. Whether you want to drive up a mountain on an ATV, horseback ride through lava fields or take a Scandinavian food tasting tour — Reykjavik’s got you covered!
