36 Hours in Reykjavik
Reykjavik is the gateway to Iceland.
The Northernmost European capital and its region house more than half of the country’s 330k population. As such, it’s a cultural hub with numerous activities including museums, live music, fine dining, and more.
This is a 2-day itinerary designed for a stopover or for those starting a longer Icelandic trip in the capital city. The first day is a full day exploring the city, since flights from North America arrive early in the morning, while the second day provides some options out of town or down by the harbour.
