Reykjavik

Chic Seaside Life in Reykjavik 

The world is awakening to the modern marvels of Reykjavik and the majestic landscapes surrounding it. Iceland's capital and largest city is also the world's most northerly head of state. But it's an intimate hub with understated elegance and sensible Scandinavian style. Don't let that fool you though, since there's amazing nightlife with top-notch restaurants, vibrant pubs, and pulsing dance clubs.

In so many ways, Reykjavik is the meaning of having the best of both worlds. The downtown is pristine oasis of entertainment, shopping, and history. In fact, the land was first settled about 2,000 years ago. Cultural highlights include the Reykjavik Art Museums, the iconic Hallgrimskirkja church, the Harpa concert venue, and the geothermal-heated pools, spa, zoo, and theme park that is Laugardalur. Of course, Reykjavik is the gateway to dramatic volcanic landscapes, so don't miss the myriad wilderness tours from town.
