Exploring Reykjavik in Winter
Northern lights, hidden folklore and Iceland’s unique capital
Adventure without leaving the city
Reykjavik is unlike any other capital city in Europe. In winter, its streets are dusted with snow, the skies glow with the aurora, and adventure begins just minutes from the harbour. You don’t need to travel far to experience Iceland’s natural wonders, cultural quirks and rich mythology – but with the Golden Circle and other landmarks close by, you can extend your trip with ease.
