Is a holiday rental in Reykjavik worth it?
A holiday apartment in Reykjavik offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Impressive nature and experience Reykjavik like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.
Reykjavik, the northernmost capital in the world, is a charming small city with big city ambitions: Colorful corrugated iron houses, a vibrant music and art scene, innovative restaurants, and the majestic Hallgrimskirkja church, whose basalt column façade is inspired by Iceland's volcanic landscape, shape the skyline of this unique metropolis at the edge of the Arctic.
The city is the perfect base camp for Iceland's natural wonders: The Golden Circle with the Strokkur geyser, the Gullfoss waterfall, and the Thingvellir National Park, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates drift apart, is just a few hours' drive away. The Blue Lagoon with its milky turquoise thermal water amidst black lava fields is Iceland's most famous spa experience.
Reykjavik's culinary scene has developed into one of the most innovative in Northern Europe: From fermented shark (Hákarl) as a brave test of courage to New Nordic cuisine in restaurants like Dill, Iceland's first Michelin-starred restaurant. The Laugavegur shopping street offers Icelandic design, bookstores, and cafes. From September to March, the Northern Lights dance over the city, while in summer, the midnight sun provides endless days. Iceland's capital is small but full of surprises.
What are the highlights of Reykjavik?
Iceland's most famous route: Þingvellir (tectonic plates), Geysir (the original geyser), and Gullfoss (the golden waterfall) – doable in one day.
The milky blue geothermal spa in the midst of a lava field – 37–40 °C warm water with silica masks and a swim-up bar.
From September to March, the Aurora Borealis dances across the Icelandic sky – best seen on clear nights outside the city.
The distinctive church, whose façade is inspired by Iceland's basalt columns – the best view of the colorful city is from the tower.
'Iceland in miniature' – the Kirkjufell mountain, lava caves, black beaches, and the mystical Snæfellsjökull glacier in a day trip.
