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.

Islandia

A souvenir shop for all nationalities.

Located in the shopping mall Kringlan, Islandia’s ambition is to provide anything Icelandic the tourist might desire. But it is not solely a souvenir shop for visitors - locals also frequent the premises in search of gifts in form of splendid Icelandic artwork. From miniature Vikings to paintings by Icelandic artists, everything in the store is associated to Iceland in some way. The stock is constantly changing as Islandia seeks to fulfil their customers’ shifting needs.

During last season’s appraisal of everything national or native, the Icelandic woollen sweater – known and loved by every Icelander as lopapeysa – experienced a quite unexpected renaissance. Icelanders once again proudly sported this national garment in its new and hip shape. Islandia offers the traditional, ever popular lopapeysa along with new designs including close-fitted, buttoned sweaters and zipped and hooded versions. The store also offers fleecewear, light jackets and outerwear by Icelandic designers. T-shirts make up another line of clothing: emblazoned with Icelandic phrases or emblems in spangles or paint, these garments are equally popular with foreign visitors as the locals themselves.

Whether on the look out for traditional, small souvenirs or a beautiful work of art fit to adorn any home, Islandia will guide your way.
