Whether you crave the ambience of a charming bistro, the gourmet delights of an up-scale restaurant or a hearty feast in a wilderness cave, Iceland’s diversity of cuisine and unique dining establishments will satisfy all taste buds.

Although Reykjavik offers an impressive range of international cuisine, the ultimate gastronomic experience is Iceland’s own culinary specialities. Indulge in Iceland’s gifts of the ocean such as fresh haddock and lobster or enjoy wild salmon and trout fresh from the pristine rivers and lakes. Savour succulent free-range lamb followed by crème brûlée made with skyr, a creamy Icelandic yogurt. Or sample some unusual traditional delicacies such as svið, singed sheep heads or hákarl, fermented shark which is typically paired with Brennivin, Iceland’s signature schnapps.

... A CULTURAL AWAKENING

Since Norse settlers first arrived over 1,100 years ago, Iceland has trans-formed from a simple society of fisherman and farmers to a nation on the cutting edge while proudly preserving the ancestral language and traditions. Industrious and independent yet genuine and warm, Iceland’s 313,000 residents are as dynamic as the rugged environment they inhabit.

As the land of Björk, mythical elves and Viking sagas, Iceland celebrates a colourful and diverse culture. Come explore Reykjavik’s hidden quirks with an offbeat walking tour, meet modern-day fisherman in seaside villages or enjoy the rhythms of Iceland at a lively outdoor music festival. For an authentic and invigorating “local” experience, join the Icelanders at one of their favourite social hangouts: a heated swimming pool - found in amazing numbers throughout the country!

... A RUSH OF ADRENALINE

Iceland’s incredible wilderness sets the stage for unforgettable adventures and team challenges - many within a short drive from Reykjavik. Experience the thrills of river rafting or ATV biking on black sand beaches. Discover great heights on an ice-climbing expedition or new depths while diving in the crevasses of the continental rift. Explore massive glaciers by snowmobile or navigate mighty 4x4 jeeps over rugged highland terrain. InterestedInterested in more leisurely activities? Enjoy whale watching, horseback riding, cave exploration, sea-angling, kayaking or perhaps a dip in a geothermally-heated pool with the locals! How about a round of midnight golf in summer or a Northern Lights tour in winter? No matter your interests, Iceland has adventures for all seasons.

... NATURE’S EXTREMES

Geologically speaking, Iceland is a young country. Born of volcanoes and shaped by glaciers, this land of “fire and ice” is still forming and evolving by the same subterranean forces that provide the nation with abundant geothermal energy - used to heat homes, greenhouses and swimming pools without pollut-ing the pure Arctic air.

Located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near the Arctic Circle, Iceland is a hotbed of extreme natural phenomena. Visit glaciers and active volcanoes all in the same day or witness the powerful contrasts of raging waterfalls and spouting geysers. Soak in the electric-blue waters of a geothermal pool surrounded by stark lava formations. Experience colourful winter evenings with the northern lights or endless summer days under the midnight sun.
