What to do and see in Reykjavik, Capital Region: The Best Food & Drink

September 1, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Reykjavik bears the distinction of being the world’s northernmost capital, and for many Icelandic visitors it also serves as a gateway to the rugged adventure options beyond. Recharge after outdoor pursuits in one of the many geothermal springs or luxurious indoor spas. We appreciate Reykjavik’s open-minded and energetic culture that includes a hip and internationally recognized music and arts scene, great food and notoriously "enthusiastic" nightlife.

Reviewed By Kramf1 - Greater London, United Kingdom

A wonderful and personable tour which covered Gin and Whisky making in Iceland’s only distillery. Our tour guide “Rock” covered the brief history of the distillery very well with amusing anecdotes and dipped into Icelandic history and myths. A very well balanced tour and enough Gin and Whisky sampling to keep everyone happy! The whisky is in it’s infancy but it is a great starting point and I can’t recommend the tour enough!
