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.

The heart of Iceland´s Christmas can be found at this year-round Christmas shop in the center of Reykjavík. Wheather it is quality imports from all over the world or unique Icelandic handicrafts Iceland´s House of Christmas strives to offer only the best of the best.
We delight in introducing foreign visitors to our country´s special Christmas traditions and a sizeble section of the shop is devoted to it. Don´t think Santa, reindeer and the North Pole. At Iceland´s House of Christmas you´ll meet the thirteen Icelandic Christmas Lads, who come down from their mountain home before Christmas to play pranks and leave gifts for little children. Handmade liknesses of the Lads can be found at the store along with numerous quality handicrafts made by a few of the best Icelandic crafters.
Iceland´s House of Christmas is a not-to-be-missed opportunity and is easily accessible from downtown Reykjavík. Just follow Skólavörðustígur towards the big church and it will be on your left. The staff at Iceland´s House of Christmas welcomes you from 10- 18 Monday´s thru Friday´s and 11-16 Saturday´s.
