Explore the land of Fire and Ice with Reykjavik guest houses

Iceland has been enchanting visitors for hundreds of years. The unique landscapes, the combination of fire and ice, the Northern Lights, and the warm welcome come together to make a magical vacation destination. Reykjavik guest houses are located in the city center of this cosmopolitan capital, offering warm, comfortable and friendly accommodation for couples, solo travelers, and families.

About Reykjavik guest houses

Reykjavik is a small city, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in style. Wooden buildings painted in bright primary colors characterize Reykjavik guest houses, rather than the skyscraper hotels you’ll find in larger cities.

Reykjavik guest houses, situated in downtown Reykjavik, offer visitors either twin or single rooms with private bathrooms. Many guest houses also provide free Wi-Fi and an authentic breakfast buffet.

Shopping

Reykjavik’s best shopping street is Laugavegur, which is great for boutique and boho wares. Visitors will find major brands alongside independent boutiques; from vintage clothing and bric-a-brac to Iceland’s famous knitwear in the city’s malls. Head to the Kolaportið flea market on the weekend and you can expect to find busy stalls and artisan traders.

Tourist attractions

There’s so much to see and do in Reykjavik, and in Iceland as a whole, that you will be hard pressed to see it all in one visit. During the summer months, Iceland enjoys nearly continuous daylight, which means avid sightseers have a better chance of seeing more of the country’s natural beauty. These include visiting geysers, waterfalls, glaciers, thermal baths and rivers, going whale watching, salmon fishing, and, of course, seeing the Northern Lights.

Because of Iceland’s ready supply of geothermic energy, every town and village in the country has its own thermally heated swimming pools that are cheap, clean and uncrowded. Reykjavik is no exception, and many of the city’s swimming pools are within walking distance of Reykjavik guest houses.

Getting around

Thanks to the city’s size, it is easy to navigate Reykjavik on foot or by bicycle. Should you wish to explore further afield, then renting a 4x4 is strongly recommended. A member of staff at your Reykjavik guest house will be happy to help you with any travel inquiries.
