Things to do and places of interest in Reykjavik
Whether you are a first-time visitor of Iceland or you have finally made your way to the coast of Reykjavik, you want to fill your itinerary with some of these key attractions to get the most out of your time here.
- The activities in the area are plentiful. Take a bike tour along the coast and see the sights of Iceland’s capital. You can also go on an angling adventure, which lets you learn how to properly fish trout the Icelandic way. Sit back, relax, and watch the whales on a whale watching tour of the ocean or take a wildlife adventure tour where you can walk among rare species of animals.
- Visit the farms of the area, including Kidafell Farmhouse where you can find a variety of horses to ride and even venture out onto a horseback riding tour.
- The parks and nature in Reykjavik is breathtaking. At Ellidaardalur Valley, you see a lush landscape with a fishing river. Head over to the Krysuvik Geothermal area where you can learn about geology. Then, take a boat ride over to Videy Island, which is the treasure of Reykjavik, and you can escape the pace of the city.
- You cannot come to Iceland without seeing the Northern Lights. Known as the Aurora Borealis, it is the scene of the breathtaking lights of the sky that you can see in the winter during clear nights.
- Reykjavik City has plenty to explore too. Year-round, you have activities including music festivals, film festivals, the media art festival, and more. While you are here, visit the iconic museums of the area like The Saga Museum or the Viking Maritime Museum. At The Culture House, you find an exhibition that includes artifacts from three of the public museums, including the National Gallery of Iceland.
Tips and tricks for visiting Reykjavik
The best way to see Iceland is at night. Most of the attractions are full during the day, but at night and the longer summer days, you get the midnight sun, which means you have light for 24 hours. Skip the crowds and take advantage of those endless days. To save on eating costs, purchase your food right from the farm. Most farmers have self-service stands too that are designed for travellers. They trust that you will pay for what you take, so do not take advantage of their generosity. If you want to try Icelandic beer, avoid the supermarkets. Instead, you need to visit the Vinbudin, which is The Wine Store of the country. Lastly, mingle among the locals out there. You will be surprised to see how friendly the locals are and that they are more than willing to help you find just about anything in their city.
