Reykjavik

Published September 21, 2017 by .

Reykjavík is the capital and largest city of Iceland. It is located in southwestern Iceland, on the southern shore of Faxaflói bay.

Reykjavik

Reykjavik is the world’s most northerly capital city, and seamlessly blends a traditional Nordic atmosphere with a modern, forward-thinking attitude. Here, unassuming congregated iron houses sit just metres from a multi-million-pound concert hall and space age church, and busy streets play host to both laid-back cafes and oh-so-cool cocktail lounges.
