A happening city skyline - Reykjavík Region

This is a view of the Reykjavik skyline-need I say more? But I will. For a city that is really in the middle of no-where, it's kinda cool (and I don't mean the temperature). The Icelanders (?) seem to enjoy their art, culture and life in general which makes a short trip to this city worthwhile. Don't expect glitz and glamour and you'll fit right in. Though if you're looking for glitz and glamour, you can find it here. Out of all the cities I've visited over the years, Reykjavik is the only one that I can say is truly surprising in a good sense. Only 100,000 people live here but the city has to offer things that cities twice its size do.

Iceland is a highly volcanic country and the locals have learned to use that to their advantage. Steam from underground... more travel advice

Reykjavik is great! Only one mall (I hate malls!) and one avenue with car lanes! Finally a human-sized capital!

Reykjavik is definately a lot more fun to visit than it looks. I had a great time here. Sounds like you did also.
