About Reykjavik

The Golden Circle, northern lights and the Blue Lagoon

Reykjavik is the northernmost capital in the world, a small colourful city that is the base for Iceland's famous landscapes: geysers, waterfalls, glaciers, black-sand beaches and hot springs.

Most visitors take day trips on the Golden Circle and the South Coast, soak in the Blue Lagoon and, in winter, hunt for the northern lights.

Best time
June to August for midnight sun and open roads; September to March for northern lights. Winters are cold, dark and icy but magical.
How long
Three to five days.
Getting around
Reykjavik's centre is walkable. Day trips are easiest by tour or rental car; buses link the airport and the main sights.

Reykjavik travel questions

How many days do I need in Reykjavik?

Three days cover the Golden Circle, the South Coast and the Blue Lagoon; more lets you add glaciers or whale watching.

From roughly September to April, on clear, dark nights.

Is a rental car necessary?

Not for day tours, but it helps for independent exploring in summer.
