Visit the world's northernmost capital city - Reykjavik! Reykjavik tours take travelers to Hallgrímskirkja’s tower, Harpa’s geometric glass façade, the Sun Voyager sculpture, and the old harbor with seafood stalls and whale-watch boats, plus side streets filled with murals and cafés serving Icelandic dishes. Here, a distinct culture and way of life have developed because of the rugged nature that characterizes Iceland. With just over 100,000 people, the coastal town of Rekjavik is Iceland's biggest city, where you can explore the museums or talk with the friendly people to learn more about their culture and the fascinating Viking history that was responsible for establishing the first communities in Iceland. Interestingly, despite Iceland's isolation from the rest of Europe, Reykjavik will surprise you with its technically advanced design, including high speed internet and a very modern society. It makes for a great stop on any cruise. Contact us to start planning your Reykjavik expedition today!
