Top Things to do in Reykjavik
What to do and see in Reykjavik, Capital Region: The Best Game & Entertainment Centers
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.

My wife and I where on our honeymoon in Reykjavik and I wanted a few things to surprise her on the trip. I saw a link on facebook to the shop and had a few emails back and forth before booking (several weeks before). Good communication throughout. When we arrived and realised how close it was to everything in Reykjavik it was even better. We where welcomed in and within minutes looking like a king and queen from ancient times. The lady in the shop was amazing and dressed us up perfectly o look the part. We looked like something straight out of a TV show and the studio really helps get you in the right frame of mind. Couple this with dramatic Viking music and you're really in the mood for some pillaging!! The photos where amazing and whilst we are both camera shy we had a lot of fun posing and carrying various weapons to add to our attire. The finished product was beyond my expectation and has added to our whole experience of Iceland. Thanks alot Mink (and Carla) - Keep up the good work.

3. Seltjarnarnes Swimming Pool

This is a rare find, But well worth going to. It is advertised as a swimming pool, and it is, but behind the swimming pool, right on the beach is a complex of hot tubs. There is a changing room, it is absolutely free to the public. You can sit in the huge thermal tubs and feel the ocean splash up against the side of the tubs! We actually sat there and watched the sun start to set. It is a little hard to find, but if you find the main building with the swimming pool, just go behind it and you will see these spa tubs. pretty amazing that it is right on the beach with the water splashing up on the sides! We went there specifically because it was on the beach, and it was free! Cannot fathom why anyone would pay $80 to go to the Blue lagoon when you have a place like this. You will not be disappointed!
