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.

In April 2000 The Reykjavík Art Museum opened a new museum by the harbour side in an old warehouse named Hafnarhús. It has six exhibition halls for art, a multi-purpose space and an outdoor area in an enclosed courtyard. The house hosts exhibitions from the general collections of the Museum, diverse temporary exhibitions of works by Icelandic and international artists, and exhibitions from the Erró collection which has a permanent place in the Museum´s schedule. At the Hafnarhús there is a cafeteria where guests can enjoy refreshments and light meals in beautiful settings with an impressive view over the harbour. At the cafeteria there is also an open internet access for guests. A museum shop is situated in the museum which offers a wide selection of books and catalogues, postcards, posters, casts of sculptures by Ásmundur Sveinsson and various art pieces.
