Reykjavik

For a weekend in a cutting edge and out and out cool city then we say head for Reykjavik.

It’s newly thriving cultural scene and classy nightlife is all thrown together with the ancient history of the beautiful Old town, Orthodox churches and remnants which date back to the Ottoman Empire. An eclectic mix of old and new.
