Shopping, Culinary, Culture, Art 

Downtown Reykjavik plays host to most of the design stores, both clothes and souvenirs  as well variety of  fine dining  restaurants.  The true taste of culinary Iceland, the spirit of the Icelandic nature comes to mind. Wild and traditional at the same time. The variety and freshness of Icelandic food produce will take you by surprise.

There are number of interesting museums and art galleries that will attract the interested tourist..

Every year, there are number of festivals in Reykjavik, but one of the greatest celebration in Iceland is when the New Year is welcomed and the fireworks that night takes even the Icelandic by  surprise every year !

The Food and Fun Festival in February or March, where world acclaimed chefs arrive to Iceland to compete and the winner is regarded as a great honor within the culinary community.

The Airways Music Festival  has been growing from year to year and world famous musicians visit Iceland to attend this  festival in November  Björk,  Sigur Ros and Of Monsters and Men are all well known Icelandic musicians 

The Gay Pride Parade in August is a colourful festival with night long party and fun.

Iceland has become more and more popular destination for film production and as an example, the actor Tom Cruise was here for few weeks while making the movie "Oblivion" and the episodes "Throne of Games" was filmed more or less in the Icelandic moon-like landscape.

 

Celebrating New Year in Reykjavik

Dear Iceland Europe Travel,
 
It has taken me too long to write this letter to say THANK YOU for the incredible experiences you arranged during our recent stay in Iceland!
 

Asta and her team organized multiple private, full-day excursions for a large party of International press that I was looking after during Iceland's Reykjavik Fashion Festival and Design March. The trips were not just fun and entertaining, they literally were perfect! 

 
Our group was over 20 guests of ranging ages, from mid 20s to 40s, and from all parts of the world: France, Italy, Germany, USA, and Denmark... Many were coming to experience Iceland for the very first time and others, like myself, have been on several occasions. The stops planned for our 12+hour trip had everyone in love the entire time. We went on nature walks; discovered natural hot-springs and homes where elves and fairies live; we found ourselves in a cave below the earth, with delicious refreshing beers; we made a random (special request) stop at an incredible black-sand beach; enjoyed had fresh lamb; and, to bring things to a close, we indulged in a completely over the top experience at the Blue Lagoon, which included a private tour, champagne and cocktails and an incredible meal.
 
Asta came along with us on the trip and even hired a special guide "tailored" for our crew. Nothing was rushed and no request felt too big. When the majority of our group had departed Iceland, Asta even arranged additional private tours, which included site-seeing of the Northern Lights, snowmobiling, and a rural over-night excursion in the country. It was literally like having a private concierge that not only enjoyed the role, but also the shared company. I cannot wait to return and to see what Iceland Europe Travel couple possibly plan for us next!
 
Thank you again!
 
Jessie
