Day 3: Reykjavik. At leisure.
The world's northernmost capital is located on a peninsula surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. Overlooked by the majestic Mount Esja, the city enjoys crisp clean air and clear blue skies. The city is one of contrasts, it has the charm and character of a provincial town with colourful and traditional painted houses, and, at the same time, is a forward-thinking and bustling city metropolis. The name Reykjavik was given to the city by its Viking founders and means 'smoky bay' after the steam rising from hot springs all over the city.
During your time at leisure in this unique capital city you will find much to keep you entertained and enthralled. The city is a fascinating fusion of history, culture, art and nature. Be sure to visit the Perlan: Iceland's most unique attraction is actually a series of water tanks providing hot water to the city. This has become popular with tourists for its distinguished revolving restaurant and panoramic walkway offering 360-degree views of the city. Or relax at Tjorn Lake, which stretches from the city hall to the edges of the suburbs, this vast expanse of water is an ideal place for a leisurely stroll and a haven for nature lovers, being home to over 40 species of birds.
Reykjavik is famed for its nightlife and attracts people from far and wide to dance the night away in its plentiful nightclubs. However, if this is not to your taste, Reykjavik can also offer theatres, an opera house, a symphony orchestra and concerts and live music to accommodate all tastes.
