About Reykjavik

Visitors to Reykjavik experience easily the pure energy at the heart of Iceland's capital city - whether from the boiling thermal energy underground, the natural green energy within the city and around it, or the lively culture and fun-filled nightlife.

Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, space, clean air, nature, culture - and Reykjavik has them in spades. It has the features of a modern, forward-looking society which are complemented by a close connection to beautiful nature right on the city's doorstep.

Reykjavik is a great place to visit, whether for some cultural nourishment, a spot of unbridled fun or to recharge your batteries.

Visit the Reykjavik Tourist Information Centre for help in planning your activities. Also check out the Reykjavik Welcome Card which offers great value for money, in particular if you plan to use the city busses.

Shopping

There has never been a better a time for shopping in Reykjavik. Most shops selling Icelandic design - clothes, accessories, home ware - can be found in the city centre on Laugavegur, Skolavordustigur and around Vesturgata and the old harbour. You may sometimes need to look hard - many shops and studios are located in back streets or upper floors that are not easily spotted!
