About Iceland
Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.

For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations.

About Reykjavik
Reykjavík sometimes feels like a cosmopolitan capital and a tiny seaside village - all wrapped up in one. But Reykjavík has the best of both worlds; the qualities of a modern, forward-looking society complemented by a close connection to Iceland‚s beautiful and unspoilt nature.

Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife is bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants. The size of Reykjavik city centre is also limited enough to allow for easy navigation by foot. Reykjavík has been described as a young and daring city that is characterized by strong contrasts. Conveniently small, clean and safe, it is more or less free from the major problems that haunt many other capitals. Big city events are frequent, the winter lights festival finished recently with thousands of participants and more tourist at this time of the year than we are used to.

Nightlife in Reykjavik

The wild and untamed nightlife of Iceland, especially in Reykjavík is known world wide and famous for its durability and ongoing parties. In Iceland, the nightlife means among other things fun and entertainment but if the idea is to go out and have good old-fashioned fun Iceland is still a fine choice. The nightlife in Reykjavík is legendary for its energy and stamina. It is not uncommon on the weekend to spend the whole night partying at one of the city's many nightclubs, known for their cool atmosphere and stylish patrons and then walk out to the streets to a carnival like atmosphere of the streets. In Reykjavik there are nightclubs to suit a variety of tastes in terms of decor and music.

Clubs and pubs in Reykjavik

The distinction between bars, clubs, pubs, cafés and dance halls is pretty blurry in Reykjavík. But that's then fun part; you can get everything from one stroll around town, and experience all extremes of a typical metro political nightlife in one of the smallest capitals in the world. Nightclubs, bars and pubs in Reykjavik are generally open quite late, till five in the morning, and it's not uncommon to spend all night on the town on Friday and Saturday nights.

Live Music in Reykjavik

Reykjavik has a very happening music scene and it goes far beyond what you might have heard about Björk and Sigur Rós. The scene is made up of a large number of genres with everything from hardcore punk rock and indie to chamber music and hip-hop. Visitors can practically take in a concert every night of the week.

Icelandic drinking habits

People say that the beer tastes so great in Iceland because the water is so clean. While that may be a bit of the infamous Icelandic bravado talking, it is certainly an undeniable fact that the Icelandic beer really is superb and well worth drinking and there are many kinds to choose from, the famous Viking Beer, Thule, Pilsner and Gull to mention few. But mixture of beer and shots like Tequila or Sambucca are in favor and to top that the party thirsty Icelander mixes that with doss of rum or the Icelandic Brennivin.
