Best Reykjavik Day Trips & Things to Do

See the world’s most northerly capital. Reykjavik is a small, low-rise city framed by snow-capped mountains where geothermal pools are dotted throughout the city. It is also the center of all things Iceland, a vibrant city brimming with cafes, pubs and clubs, world-class restaurants, quality museums and galleries, and one of the best music scenes to be found anywhere in Europe. The National Museum should not be missed, as it displays artifacts from the settlement of Iceland all the way up to the modern age, including Viking swords and drinking horns.
