About Reykjavík
Reykjavik is a captivating city, with a cool breeze that is warmed by the heat of the Icelandic land. It is a modern city, yet still retains its Viking heritage. It is the perfect place for a city break, offering a range of surprises. The local cuisine is something to be proud of, with salt cod, hearty meat and vegetable soup, and seabirds such as puffin being popular dishes. The city centre is a great place to shop, with Langavegur being the prime shopping area. Here you can find unique fashion, Icelandic wool blankets, gloves, hats and scarves, and many other souvenirs.When to visit
