Reykjavik
Europe’s most northerly capital city, Reykjavik was the site of Iceland’s original Viking settlement in days of yore, but it is a modern town where the air is as clear and sparkling as the pristine streets and buildings.

Most expensive city in the world - Susan Dopp. Date of travel: Dec 2007
Reykjavik has a great nightlife, great little city and very expensive. You can not eat all your meals out here, you´ll go broke. Go with an apartment hotel and cook some of your meals yourself, you won't regret it.

Not much to do - J.Hamilton. Date of travel: Sep 2007
It is a suprisingly small and sparse city. You can see all you need to see (eg. church, national gallery, Parlan, Blue Lagoon) in a day or two very easily. Nightlife is very very limited, and almost dead during the week. I would visit again, but mainly for the excursions. Most of what is worth seeing is far away and you need time (and money) for the fantastic-looking excursions. The main excursion people take, to Geysir and Gulfoss is ok and worth seeing, but its a long drive for a short stop at these places. The landscape is desolate. The Blue Lagoon is my highlight of Reykjavik. The problem with the weather is not cold, but the rain and wind, which are very unpleasant. And good food is not easy to find and very expensive.
