Reykjavík is the capital of Iceland and has everything a big city has to offer. Charming shops, restaurants of all kinds, museums and so much more. It is also an excellent hub for day tours into the spectacular nature of Iceland.

Beautiful areas just outside Reykjavík are for example the Heiðmörk Nature Reserve and the popular hiking trail up to Mount Esja. Or you can simply stroll along the coast of Reykjavík. If you don't manage to see the Northern Lights, why not visit the Northern Lights Museum? In Perlan - you can see the "Wonders of Iceland", and learn everything there is to know about glaciers and volcanoes. You can even experience an ice cave.

Marjolein
»Our stay in Mosfellsbaer was very enjoyable. This little house has atmosphere, is situated outside of town, nice and secluded, with acces to nature and a small stream. Great for an after dinner hike or even a longer day hike. At the same time it is only 5 minutes by car away from town and close to Reykjavik. The house is cosy and has a nice garden. The owners take good care of this house and it shows. We were fine with the sleeping arrangement upstairs. There are 4 single beds under the eves.«
