AROUND REYKJAVIK

Reykjavik sightseeing The world’s most northerly capital, Reykjavik is home to several places of historic and cultural interest, among them Árbæjarsafn Folk Museum, the Ásmundur Sveinsson Museum of Sculpture and the Sigurjón Ólafsson Museum, as well, of course, as the National Museum of Iceland.

Further options include a visit to Laugardalur, a parkland area in the heart of the city, complete with its own outdoor geothermal swimming- pool, botanic garden, children’s zoo and small adventure park (summer only). In the city centre itself, the Port of Reykjavík and harbour area, Icelands parliament, the Althing and the ultra-modern City Hall, are just a few of the places well worth a visit.
