Reykjavik

A compact and approachable capital city, Reykjavik boasts some excellent restaurants and a number of attractions such as the Museum of Iceland, the striking modern Hallgrimskirkja Church, and a spectacular new concert hall. A short break to this fascinating city should include at least one full day out of town exploring the Golden Circle of beautiful waterfalls at Gullfoss and Seljalandfoss, with its spectacular coastal cliffs, seabirds and wildflowers; geysers at Geysir and the National Park at Thingvellir are certainly worth visiting. The region to the south of the capital is home to some of the country’s most unique scenery, from the largest glacier in Iceland to the volcanoes of Eyjafjallajökull and Mount Hekla.   Iceland Excursions by 'Super Jeep' The ‘Golden Circle’: The essential introduction to Iceland’s spectacular nature and geology, this full day tour includes the highlights of the ‘Golden Circle’ to the east of Reykjavik.
