There has never been a better time to visit Reykjavik. Lonely Planet, the world’s leading publisher in travel guides, recently picked Iceland as the best value destination in the world to visit in 2010. Lonely Planet is not alone in pointing this out – Iceland has never been as widely recognised as both a fantastic and great value destination to visit.
Following the crash of Iceland’s economy last year, the exchange rate of the Icelandic krona has become more favourable for foreigners. Travelling to Reykjavik and enjoying the city’s plethora of restaurants, shops and attractions, has simply never been more affordable.
Visitors to Reykjavik experience easily the pure energy at the heart of Iceland’s capital city – whether from the boiling thermal energy underground, the natural green energy within the city and around it, or the lively culture and fun-filled nightlife.
Reykjavik is a winter city break destination which is hard to beat. Imagine soaking in a hot pool with snowflakes gently touching your cheeks, treating your taste buds with some of the freshest seafood around, discovering quirky designer goods, having the chance to view the ethereal northern lights and being amazed by the sight of whales and dolphins on a boat tour – all in one weekend.
Even better, schedule your visit to coincide with the upcoming Christmas and New Year festivities or another of Reykjavik’s many exciting wintertime events such as Food and Fun, Reykjavik Museums Night, Reykjavik Blues Festival or Design March. Whatever your fancy, visiting Reykjavik has never been a better idea than right now.
