Why fly to Reykjavik?

With Reykjavik flights, discover the dramatic landscapes and laid-back culture of one of Europe’s coolest cities. The capital of Iceland is a city of art galleries and museums, a year-round destination with the special bonus of potentially catching the Northern Lights when you visit during the winter.

And it's definitely not just about the city life here. Book day trips to the surrounding countryside and you'll be wowed by dramatic geysers and waterfalls, and have the chance to bathe in soothing (and scenic) natural thermal springs.

Things to do in Reykjavik Iceland

Booking plane tickets to Reykjavik is the best way to learn about the fascinating country of Iceland. Discover Viking history, go to the Volcano House or watch an Aurora show. Head to the rotating glass dome at the Perlan museum for fantastic 360 views of the city and its surroundings. If you’re into music, there are live acts performing most nights at many of the pubs dotted around, or consider catching a concert at the waterside concert hall, with its fascinating honeycombed windows. Party heartily on a traditional pub crawl or dance all night in the not-quite dark if you’re visiting in the summer. When you need to recover your strength the next day, you’ll find 17 thermal pools to relax in.

Iceland’s unique Hallgrímskirkja church can be seen from many vantage points around town. This Icelandic national monument was built as a tribute to the country’s poet, Hallgrimur Petursson. Take the steeple lift for a view of Reykjavik from almost 250 feet up. Head down to the old harbour’s revamped fishing sheds and maybe sign up for a whale-watching trip. You should also stroll along Reykjavik’s waterfront walkway, admiring the Solfar sculpture and an amazing sunset.

If you’re planning a trip to Reykjavik, make sure you don’t miss its unique downtown area. Here you’ll find independent boutiques rather than kitschy souvenirs. Pick up a warm and cosy Icelandic wool sweater, pottery made of volcanic rock, or hand-crafted jewellery.

What to eat in Iceland

All around the city, you’ll find cute cafes and restaurants serving traditional Icelandic food. As you’d expect, fish is plentiful, along with slow-roasted lamb and yoghurt. If you’re feeling adventurous, try unique traditional dishes like fermented shark or smoked puffin. The food scene has really exploded here, and you’ll find many tasting menus and higher-end options alongside lots of fast options including traditional Icelandic hotdogs, known as Pylsur.

Day trips from Reykjavik

Reykjavik flights land you at the perfect starting point for seeing some of the most beautiful spots in Iceland. Spend days hiking, camping, cycling or swimming, or just marvelling at the scenery. One of the most popular day trips to do from the city is the “Golden Circle” tour, a full day of sightseeing that encapsulates many of the most popular sites near to the capital. Visit Þingvellir national park to view the site of the first European parliament, see geysers erupting high into the sky, and take a walk around the beautiful volcanic crater lake of Kerið. Iceland is the ultimate land of fire and ice, with many spectacular waterfalls, and you’ll see more than you can count. If you’d rather not venture too far outside of the city, the closest waterfall to Reykjavik is just a 20-minute drive outside the city, called Bruarfoss. You won’t believe the blueness of its water as it drops from springs at several different levels.

Best time to visit

Reykjavík's population soars between June and July as visitors fly in to take advantage of the milder conditions and explore in the perpetual light of the Midnight Sun. This is also when the island is at its driest, although rain is common throughout the year. It's the best time of year for hiking and there are some excellent festivals too, such as Secret Solstice and Midsummer Music.

Avoid the crowds

Brave the freezing temperatures and dark conditions to visit Reykjavík in November, December or January. With a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights dance in the dark sky, a cosy Scandinavian atmosphere in the city and cheaper prices on airfare and hotels, you'll be glad you did. Visit in November for the brilliant Airwaves music festival.
