The capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, is the northernmost capital of the world. Reykjavik bears the distinction of being the world’s northernmost capital, and for many Icelandic visitors it also serves as a gateway to rugged adventure options that are found in the land.

People here recharge after outdoor pursuits in one of the many geothermal springs or luxurious indoor spas. Visitors appreciate Reykjavik’s open minded and energetic culture that includes an internationally recognized music and arts scene, great food and notoriously "enthusiastic" nightlife.

Being on the coast of Iceland, Reykjavik is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which may have been established in 874 AD. Since being founded in 1786 as a trading town, it has been transformed into a regional and later national center of commerce, population, and governmental activities. It is now among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world.
