About Reykjavik
Reykjavik is tiny, expensive, and the gateway to Iceland's insane landscapes — glaciers, waterfalls, hot springs, Northern Lights, midnight sun. The city itself is cute but skipable if you're here for nature. Rent a car and do the Ring Road or Golden Circle. Book the Blue Lagoon ahead or skip it for cheaper local pools.
