Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland in winter
Reykjavík is the world’s northernmost capital, with a population of only 123,000 (approx..), but what it lacks in terms of the populace, it makes up for in culture and excitement. Reykjavík has a vibrant cultural and design scene, with plenty of exciting adventure tours, museums, galleries, shops, bars and clubs for you to explore throughout your stay.
Iceland’s capital city provides a great base from which to experience some of the island’s breathtakingly beautiful natural wonders, such as the famous Blue Lagoon geothermic spa, The Northern Lights or The Golden Circle; where you’ll witness spouting geysers, waterfalls, rift valleys and more. Whatever way you choose to spend your time in Reykjavík, this is one city break that is truly unique.

Four Days in Reykjavík, Iceland - A Travel Guide
This is a bit of a first for this channel, it's a travel vlog that is in NO WAY theme park related! Last week Mrs Hakes and I went off to spend four days in Reykjavík, Iceland. It's a wonderful city, and we had an incredible time here. Below is a list of places we went / tour companies we used.
To save messing around with a gimbal and camera for the whole time it was entirely shot on my Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
Everything went extremely smoothly, from the flights to the transfers and the tours - it was perfect! I'll write up a full post about it all in due course, but for now - here's the vlog.
As ever, the video music is by Nick Hutson -

Reykjavík city, the capital of Iceland
Reykjavík is the capital city of Iceland and nearly two-thirds of the country’s population lives in the capital area. It is a small but modern city with a population of approximately 123,000 while 217,000 people live in the Capital Region, also called the Greater Reykjavík area. Despite its small size, however, it has everything a proper capital city should have: vivid nightlife, a lively music scene, a busy downtown area, modern museums, world-class restaurants, and so much more.
