Quirky, Quaint, and Irresistibly Charming!, Reykjavik, Iceland

I spent my last few hours before my flight back home walking around Iceland’s capital Reykjavik. I’m glad I did as I fell in love with this little city. And, you can’t blame me. This little gem in the middle of the ocean is overflowing with beauty, charm and magic.

Unlike some other cities, Reykjavik isn’t really close to the international airport Keflavik, and it’s very easy to fly in, explore Iceland and not once step foot into Reykjavik. But that would be a travesty and a mistake, because not so surprisingly, Reykjavik is just as special and surprising as the rest of this small island nation.

I know, everyone wants to get out and see the beautiful countryside and scenic landscapes and they should. But the capital city deserves just as much time, at least on that first visit. The city centre where most of the major sights are located is compact and very walkable. Some personal highlights for me include:

- Grab lunch at one of Reykjavik’s famous hot dog stands, the most popular snack in the country (order it the Icelandic way, they’ll know what you mean) ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
