"6. Stop evening in Reykjavík - the capital of Iceland, with approx. population of 135,000, which is almost half of the entire population of Iceland - it has an so much to offer - It is a port city with lots of museums, events, architecture, monuments and cool shops, bars and restaurants - how you spend your evening in Reykjavík is up to you -our recommendation is to go for a walk along the harbor to Sun Voyager, walk along Rainbow street to the massive, famous Hallgrímskirkja church - check out small shops, not just with souvenirs all around these downtown alleys - our favorite bar in Reykjavík is Lemmy Bar, it is a huge bar with a specific decoration, in a historic old building, with tasty beers, with a terrace and a mini game room - Other nice bars: The Drunk Rabbit Irish Pub, The Irishman Pub, The English Pub (here you can enjoy live music every day) and many others. The price of a 500 ml draft beer in Iceland ranges from 1200 ISk = approx. 8 euros, but they are quite strong and in Iceland there are also Happy Hours (usually in afternoon and early evening) when you can get beer for half price - if you still have a lot of time to explore Reykjavik, we recommend Fly over Iceland, and it's also not too late to see Perlan - you will definitely love Reykjavik "

"Reykjavík is the capital and largest city in Iceland. It’s also the northernmost capital in the world. The city, on the southwest coast of the island nation, is home to less than 150,000 people (that’s 60% of the total population). It’s by no means sleepy, though. It has a thriving art scene (music festivals, independent record stores, pop-up exhibits) and foodie scene (Michelin restaurants, organic wine bars, coffee culture). A grand church towers over the city. Thermal swimming pools are gathering spots for most neighborhoods. Northern lights sightings are a real possibility (seasonally, of course). It’s also the jumping-off point for exciting adventures all around the Land of Fire and Ice. Pack for all seasons, as the weather changes frequently throughout the day--no matter what time of year it is. And be prepared to fall in love."

"Reykjavik is the capital city of Iceland and is home to around two-thirds of the country's population. It's a vibrant and charming city that's full of history, culture, and natural beauty. There are many museums, galleries, and restaurants you can visit or take a stroll along the harbor to take in the views. It's a great place to start or end any Icelandic adventure. We ended our adventure here by going on a walking tour and eating as much hotdogs we can! Love the city."
