"Sono tante le cose che si possono fare nella capitale Islandese. Dopo giorni immersi nella natura, vi farà un pò strano passeggiare per le vie della città, ma non demordete, probabilmente vi innamorerete anche di lei.
Per gli amanti dei musei, non c’è una grande scelta, ma le opzioni possono essere:
Museo Nazionale d’Islanda: costituisce la principale istituzione del paese per scoprire i 1200 anni di storia dell'arte islandese. Costo sul sito ufficiale, circa 20€
Museo d’arte di Reykjavik: Il Reykjavik Art Museum è la più grande istituzione di arte visiva in Islanda. Costo del biglietto sul sito ufficiale mi sembra si aggiri intorno ai 17€
Museo Fallologico Islandese (ve lo consiglio? No. Devo inserirlo in questa lista per forza? No. E allora perché lo fai? Boh). Costo sul sito ufficiale circa 23€
Musei a parte:
Hallgrímskirkja: La famosa chiesa con la sua architettura unica e la vista panoramica dalla cima (consigliata più la visita dall’alto, che quella interna)
Harpa: Il moderno centro concerti affacciato sul mare. Merita una visita in quanto gratis
Due le vie principali dello shopping: Skólavörðustígur e Laugavegur. Potrete trovare sia negozi d’abbigliamento Islandese, gadget economici e tanto altro.
Il Sólfar, o Sun Voyager, è uno dei luoghi più immortalati di Reykjavík e progettato negli anni '80 da Jón Gunnar Árnason, per commemorare il bicentenario della fondazione della città
La Città Vecchia di Reykjavik, punto principale per la visita parte dal laghetto Tjörnin (dove in inverno è anche possibile pattinare sul ghiaccio!) e una visita al porto.
Se hai tempo, consiglio spassionato, quello di rilassarvi qualche ora all’interno della Sky Lagoon!
I prezzi del biglietto variano, ma tornerete a casa sereni e rilassati :)"

"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."
