Things to do in Reykjavik

Visit the Hallgrímskirkja church for panoramic views of Reykjavik. Explore the Harpa Concert Hall, an architectural marvel on the waterfront. Take a Golden Circle tour to see geysers, waterfalls, and Þingvellir National Park. Bathe in the Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa known for its mineral-rich waters.

Food to try

Try Icelandic lamb soup (Kjötsúpa), a hearty and traditional dish. Sample fresh seafood, such as Arctic char or cod, prepared in various ways. Dare to taste Skyr, a traditional Icelandic yogurt, often served with berries.

Local tips

Tipping is not customary in Iceland, as service charges are usually included in bills. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, so carrying large amounts of cash is unnecessary. Be aware of the strong winds and sudden weather changes, especially when travelling outside the city.
