DO IT LIKE A LOCAL !!!

 

Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland, with a population of about 200,000.  This is the only city where you practically have volcanos and glaciers „in the backyard“ !  The place was named Reykjavik, meaning „Smoky Bay“, by the first Viking to settle in Iceland – Ingólfur Arnarson.  The reason is the columns of steam that rose from the hot springs in the area.  Ingólfur settled in Reykjavik during the late 9th centurie A.D., according to the medieval Book of Settlements 

 

The city is quiet during regular days in the winter and during weekends the nightlife takes completely over.  In the summer (June, July and August) every day is „a Saturday“ as a greater part of visitors come to Iceland in those 3 months

 

We (the two families that run MyReykjavik) are born and raised in the Reykjavik area and we feel that there is a GREAT NUMBER of „things to do & see“ that only are visual to the locals (some even yet to be discovered by the locals).  We want to share those secrets with our travellers.  Therefore we include in our packages ;

 

When you book with us we send you :

 

  • OUR list of things to explore / do while staying in Reykjavik (here we share our secrets)
  • Reykjavik event calendar during your time of stay

24/7 availability for you to contact us during your stay in Iceland (we do take calls during the night in case of emergency)
