Iceland’s exciting capital city, breathtaking Reykjavík, is bursting with growth…and visitors are pouring in from all over the globe to experience its magic– especially in the summertime. What a perfect time of year and final destination for our Voyage One guests, and host city for our Voyage Two guests!
During the summer, the sun shines nearly all day long, allowing visitors to enjoy all the gifts Reykjavík has to offer. It is the nucleus of Iceland’s culture and arts scene. By day, the café culture rules supreme with the lively hum of conversations. As evening arrives, people start filling into the city’s excellent restaurants where local ingredients are celebrated…fresh delicious lamb, seafood caught that day or wild game just to name a few. There are also endless opportunities to spend time in the glorious nature that surrounds the city. Witness the plunging Gullfoss waterfall and the super-famous Blue Lagoon thermal hot springs as well as countless other sights, giving this city boasting rights for being one of the must-see tourist destinations in the world today.
Reykjavík is a city of bold contrasts: it is both cosmopolitan and small-town; vibrant and sophisticated; young-at-heart and yet full of history. Many monuments, new and old, are also worth a peek, including the newly built oceanfront music and conference center, Harpa. Luckily, everything in Reykjavík is close by— you can find museums, galleries, theaters, cafés and swimming pools for example, all very near the town center. As such, the city is perhaps best explored by foot or bike. Because Reykjavík is Iceland’s most famous city, booking your excursions and tours early during the travel planning process is best.
We cannot wait to go on this adventure with you to this bucket-list destination!
