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.

Fjalakotturinn

A historical experience.

The newest hotel in Reykjavík is made up of three interlinked buildings: while the middle one originates from 1764, the other two have been constructed to resemble their predecessors.

The hotel provides hungry passers-by with two options: the Uppsalir café or Fjalakötturinn restaurant. In Uppsalir’s comfortable atmosphere in the oldest part of the building, visitors can enjoy quality Lavazza coffee along with light courses or delicious cakes and waffles. Every month, Uppsalir’s walls are a venue for different art exhibitions. For beautiful summer days, Uppsalir also has a patio ideal for sipping coffee in the sun.

Fjalakötturinn restaurant welcomes guests for a delicious meal. For lunch, visitors can choose between the light lunch menu and the hors-d’oeuvre buffet. In the evening, the restaurant changes to its a la carte menu. In these historical buildings in the heart of Reykjavík, Fjalakötturinn emphasises Icelandic ingredients and cooking and takes pride in presenting home cooked meals. The menu includes fish, meat and vegetable courses, and also has a national dish of the week. Among the delicacies to be found on the menu is the praised smoked lamb carpaccio. The impressive and affordable wine list assists visitors in selecting the right wine, as it recommends wines to accompany the courses on the menu. Fjalakötturinn also monthly selects a wine of the month. For groups up to 14 people, the lovely Forsetastofa in the Uppsalir building is an ideal choice for private parties or meetings.
