Reykjavik Holidays

The world’s most northerly capital city, Reykjavik seamlessly blends a traditional Nordic atmosphere and a modern, forward-thinking attitude. Here, unassuming congregated iron houses sit just metres from a multi-million-pound concert hall and space age church, and busy streets play host to both laid-back cafes and oh-so-cool cocktail lounges.

Reykjavik is a great springboard to the rest of the country. You can head out to sea on whale and puffin-watching tours from the harbour, and sign up for day-long trips around the well-known Golden Circle route. Iceland’s number one attraction, the geothermal Blue Lagoon, is also less than an hour’s drive away.

Head just a little way out of the city, and you’re in Northern Lights territory. The countryside surrounding Reykjavik provides a great chance of seeing the elusive Aurora Borealis, and TUI holidays to Iceland include a trip out to try to catch them lighting up the night sky.
