Reykjavík is the world's northernmost capital and the gateway to Iceland's landscapes of volcanoes, glaciers, geysers, and waterfalls. This compact, colourful city pairs a lively café and music scene with jaw-dropping nature just beyond its edges. Once you catch that first glimpse of the mountains from the harbour, you'll want to explore every corner!
When to go
Summer, from June to August, brings mild temperatures and nearly endless daylight, making it the busiest and most expensive season. Winter is colder and darker but offers the chance to see the Northern Lights, while spring and autumn balance fewer crowds with reasonable weather.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
Reykjavík is a handy stepping-stone to Europe and is sometimes nonstop from Toronto or Montreal, though from most Canadian cities you will connect once depending on your departure city. Service is often stronger in the warmer months, so plan for a layover and check connections carefully. The flight itself is shorter than most transatlantic hops.
What to see and do
- The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa
- Hallgrímskirkja church and its tower view
- The Golden Circle route (Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss)
- Whale watching from Reykjavík harbour
- Chasing the northern lights between September and March
- The black-sand beach at Reynisfjara
Good to know before you go
The currency is the Icelandic króna, and cards are accepted almost everywhere, so you rarely need cash. Downtown Reykjavík is small and easy to explore on foot, and the city buses (Strætó) cover the rest, but a rental car is the practical way to reach the waterfalls and geysers out in the countryside, where parking is plentiful and traffic is light; note that many agencies add a young-driver surcharge for under-25s, so guided day tours from the city are a good car-free alternative. English is widely spoken, Iceland is expensive so budget accordingly, and the tap water is excellent, so skip bottled water.
Entry requirements and health
