Capital Region
Iceland's vibrant capital and gateway to the country.
Search current availability for stays throughout Reykjavik.
What Reykjavik is known for
Iceland's capital: colourful streets, Harpa concert hall, Laugavegur shopping, geothermal pools and the country's widest choice of hotels, guesthouses and apartments.
Top things to do
- Walk the old harbour and try a geothermal pool like Sundhöllin or Laugardalslaug
- Visit Harpa and the Sun Voyager sculpture along the waterfront
- Eat at the Grandi harbour district and try a hot dog at Bæjarins Beztu
- Take a whale watching or northern lights boat tour from the old harbour
- Use Reykjavik as a base for the Golden Circle and South Coast day trips
How to get there
Keflavík International Airport is 45–50 minutes away by airport coach, private transfer or rental car. Flybus and airport coaches run every 20–30 minutes to match arriving flights.
How long to stay
Two to three nights for a first visit. Add an extra night if you want day trips to the Golden Circle or Snæfellsnes.
When to visit
Year-round. Summer has long days and street life; winter has lower hotel prices and aurora skies. Expect the highest prices in July and August.
Where to stay
Midborg and the 101 postcode put you walking distance from restaurants and bars. Hlíðar and Vesturbær are quieter but still central. Families often prefer Laugardalur near the pool and zoo.
