Icelands capital is different from other European cities. It is the worlds northernmost capital, and one of the newest, having established itself only in the late 19th century. Reykjavik offers all the pleasures of a modern European city and additionally an interesting old town, white washed wooden buildings, and lines of brightly painted concrete houses. Almost all places of interest are within a walking distance of the old settlement.

The Old Town, the citys hub, is a rustic area of parks, lakes, markets and museums. Anybody interested in Norse and Icelandic culture should head for the National Museum, which houses objects of religious and folk relics, and tools dating from the period of Settlement. The most renowned is a church door, carved around 1200, which depicts a Norse battle scene, while residing in the basement are nautical and agricultural tools and models of early fishing boats and ingenious farm implements.

Modern Reykjavik starts east of the Old Town, and features several attractions such as Hallgrimskirkja, an imposing church resembling a mountain of lava. It is the citys most memorable structure. Begun in the late 1940s and completed in 1974, the church is named after Icelands best-known poet, Hallgrimur Petursson. You can wander its stark, light-filled interior, then take a lift to the top of a 75m-high (246ft) tower which offers superb views of the city. On the lawn is a statue of Leif Eriksson, triumphantly identified as the Son of Iceland, Discoverer of Vinland (believed to be Newfoundland or Labrador). Cheap eating establishments and bargain shopping are found in the Old Town area of Reykjavik.
