Reykjavik at a glance
Reykjavík is Iceland's capital and largest city, at 64° north. Visitors come for its small downtown, Hallgrímskirkja and the harbor. They also come for the light: almost endless days in early summer, very short ones in December.
Known for
Hallgrímskirkja
Lutheran church completed in 1986, 74.5 m tall, whose design by Guðjón Samúelsson echoes Iceland's columnar basalt; visible from across the city.
Harpa
Concert hall and conference center that opened in 2011, with a colored glass façade designed with artist Olafur Eliasson.
Sun Voyager Sólfar
Stainless steel sculpture of a dreamboat by Jón Gunnar Árnason, unveiled in 1990 beside the Sæbraut seafront road.
Laugavegur
Downtown's main shopping street and one of its oldest; the name means 'wash road', after the old route to the Laugardalur hot springs.
Icelandic hot dog Pylsa með öllu
Hot dog 'with everything': fried and raw onion, mustard, ketchup and remoulade; the Iceland Monitor calls it the national dish.
Getting there
Keflavík Airport (KEF) is about 50 km from the city center. The Flybus takes about 45 minutes to the BSÍ Bus Terminal and leaves 40 minutes after each plane lands. On the way it stops in Garðabær, Hafnarfjörður and at selected hotels. Strætó public buses also link the airport and the capital area. Taxis wait at the airport 24 hours a day.
Getting around
Strætó runs the city buses serving Reykjavík and its surrounding towns. Downtown is small enough to walk.
When to go
June to August for long days: daylight is near-constant from 20 May to 24 July, and highs reach about 13 to 15 °C. From December to early January there are fewer than five hours of daylight. Winters are mild for the latitude, with highs around 3 °C, but gales are common.
Local tip
Book the Flybus before you land. It waits about 40 minutes after each arrival, so you have time to collect bags.
