レイキャヴィク

Arrive at Reykjavik airport and you’ll think you’ve landed on a distant planet. This small-scale city is circled by raw nature of epic proportions, where Vikings once roamed and volcanoes bubble. Clean streets are jumbled with colourful clapperboard and corrugated houses that could belong in a fairy-tale. But don’t be fooled. A calm daytime demeanour gives way to lively nights, as trendy bars and creative restaurants draw the capital’s (and visiting) in-crowd.
