Add a tour or two to your package to go sightseeing in or around the city, catch sight of a geyser blasting 65 feet in the air, take a dip in the Blue Lagoon, walk inside a glacier, or witness the phenomenon of the Northern Lights.

Shopping

By far the coolest street in Reykjavik is Laugavegur.

For serious bargain hunters, the indoor Kolaportid market held every weekend is where to find buys on handmade Icelandic clothing, food and toys.
