ICELAND'S CITIES OF REYKJAVIK & VIK

Reykjavík is much more than just the capital of Iceland. It is the cultural, transportation, and historical heart of the country, making it one of the most important places to visit when exploring Iceland.

It is the ideal base for many of Iceland's most famous attractions. It offers a fascinating introduction to Iceland's heritage including Hallgrímskirkja Church, Iceland's most recognizable landmark

Vík, a tiny village, is also one of Iceland's most popular destinations because it places one in the middle of some of the country's most dramatic and unforgettable scenery.

Although the village itself has only a few hundred residents, it offers access to black-sand beaches, sea cliffs, glaciers, waterfalls, and volcanic landscapes that seem almost otherworldly. The contrast of black sand, white surf, and rugged cliffs creates one of Iceland's most photographed landscapes.
