Plan a very full day in the city that never sleeps — Reykjavik under the midnight sun. Whale watch. Take a walking tour of historic landmarks. Visit the Saga Museum, wander Reykjavik’s many hidden gardens and parks, and soak in the four-seasons, 24/7 energy of the world’s northernmost capital city.
Reykjavik is a cultural hotspot, and the gateway to some of Iceland’s geologic hotspots. Explore Reykjavik’s functional and contemporary architecture and arts scene, take in the waters of the Blue Lagoon, or visit Thingvellir, a site where Iceland’s original Parliament met (circa 930 AD) and where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates visibly meet.
