Downtown Reykjavík

As the home of the Harpa Concert Hall, Hallgrímskirkja church, and so much more, downtown Reykjavík (or Miðborg) is an unmissable stop on your tour of Iceland. 

The compact capital of Iceland has a small yet charming downtown to match, making it easily walkable. Yet there’s so much to see and do, so make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to explore!

Marvel at the city center’s top sights and attractions by day, then stay up at night to party with the locals at the best bars in Reykjavík. Or head to the seafront to take in the beauty of the Northern Lights. Pop into trendy cafés, shop for Icelandic crafts and clothing, and feast on mouth-watering meals.

When visiting Iceland, soaking up the local culture is something you shouldn’t overlook. And downtown Reykjavík is the best introduction you can have to your Iceland trip.
