What our Arctic travellers say

Reykjavik Highlights

When Is The Best Time To Visit Reykjavik?

Reykjavik is a year-round destination, each season offering a different experience. Winter is ideal for witnessing the Northern Lights, with long nights providing the perfect backdrop. Summer brings nearly 24 hours of daylight, allowing for extended outdoor adventures and festival celebrations. Spring and autumn offer a balance between the two, with fewer crowds and striking seasonal landscapes.

Where To Go In Reykjavik

Reykjavik offers an array of magical locations to explore on a guided tour. Begin at Hallgrímskirkja, a striking church offering blanket views of the city. Wander through the old harbour, where you’ll find cozy cafes, shops, and restaurants serving Icelandic delicacies. Don’t miss the Harpa Concert Hall with its dazzling glass architecture. For natural wonders, venture on a Northern Lights adventure, or head to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Take a tour of the Golden Circle to see geysers, waterfalls, and volcanic landscapes. In winter, head out of the city for a chance to witness the mesmerising northern lights.

What To Do In Reykjavik

Reykjavík is the gateway to Iceland’s striking natural wonders. Just outside the city, the Golden Circle offers the explosive Geysir geothermal area and the thundering Gullfoss waterfall. For ultimate relaxation, soak in the world-famous Blue Lagoon’s steamy, turquoise waters, set against a lava landscape. Iceland’s hot springs, geysers, and waterfalls provide a dramatic contrast to the city’s colourful streets, making Reykjavík the perfect base for exploring the island’s raw beauty. Whether you’re hiking glaciers or immersing yourself in geothermal baths, the city’s surroundings are a feast for the senses.

What Is The Climate Like In Reykjavik?

Despite its Arctic location, Reykjavik’s climate is relatively mild due to the warming effects of the Gulf Stream. Winters see temperatures averaging around -1°C, while summers remain cool, with highs of 13-15°C. Weather conditions can change quickly, so packing for all seasons is recommended.
