Enjoy art, culture, and Nordic history in Reykjavik. Fill a day or two checking out its terrific music scene, great food, and several fascinating museums. Taking the Flybus from the airport is the easiest and most efficient option—tickets can be purchased at the airport stand. Once you’re downtown, the city center is compact and easily explored on foot. Explore this country’s glaciers, lava fields, peaks, and other natural wonders through our Iceland adventure tours.
There are free 2-hour city tours available to get your bearings, or you can enjoy a guided bike or Segway tour. If you contact Iceland Bike, let the owner, Stefan, know that we referred you!
Located en route from the airport to downtown Reykjavik, it’s best to go via the Flybus, since your hotel room may not be ready with an early-morning arrival.
If the weather is cooperative, you may want to reserve a whale-watching tour from the harbor.
Perhaps the most famous hot dog stand in the world, it’s known for hot dogs made with all-Icelandic, free-range meat, making a truly gourmet hot dog. Order it loaded—with sweet brown mustard, relish, and a mayonnaise-based sauce—you won’t be disappointed.
Adjacent to the hot dog stand, the indoor flea market is a fun way to mix with locals and look out for unique souvenirs.
Built around the ruins of a Viking longhouse, one of the oldest man-made structure found thus far in Iceland.
With three locations, this museum houses sculptures and artwork by Icelandic artists.
Offering a variety of fascinating exhibitions that illustrate Iceland’s history from prehistory to present day culture.
This magnificent, stark, Lutheran church a offers 360-degree view over Iceland from the top of the tower.
