Reykjavík, Iceland. En route to our week-long tour of the Faroe Islands, we spent a day here in transit, exploring the world’s northernmost capital. Jetlagged and pressed for time, our brief tour consisted of a good deal of walking the downtown area and hitting as many tourist landmarks as possible. And there’s lots to see and do in this clean and attractive city.

Here, a small collection of photos from our Reykjavík exploration on foot.

Very nordic!

Thank you! I was only there for few days on transit, so barely scratched the surface. Have a few more pics coming, but definitely worth a proper trip (I’d say minimum 2 weeks). I hope to be back there too.
