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.

A great selection of souvenirs.

Buying memorabilia and postcards of Iceland for loved ones and friends at home can be stressful. It does not have to be, because one of the biggest souvenirs shop in Iceland offers a pleasant shopping atmosphere, and great selection of souvenirs and related products at bargain prices.

Among the unbeatable assortment of postcards and other classic souvenirs, there is also a collection of Icelandic woolen sweaters, hats, gloves and other accessorize made from the well-known Icelandic wool, which awakens a longing for the cold.

Besides all of this, you'll find many books, including magically beautiful photo collections, but also works form Icelandic authors in translation.

That's not even the half of it. From Icelandic jewelry, to handmade candles, to sheep and reindeer skins and little trolls, you'll find a fitting gift for everyone. The only disadvantage is that the classic excuse, "there was nothing but kitsch in the gift shop, and that's why I didn't get you anything", doesn't count anymore.

Be sure to ask for your Global Refund Tax Free Cheque when shopping because as a foreign visitor to Iceland you are entitled to a VAT refund up to 15% of the total amount spent. This along with reasonable prices will ensure that you will get the highest value for the money spent.
