Looking for a hire car in Iceland? Take a look at our Car rental Iceland directory.
Iceland is quickly becoming one of Europe's most appealing destinations to visit, with its numerous natural features including; hot springs, magnificent glaciers, geysers, lave deserts, active volcanoes and not forgetting the midnight sun. In addition, Iceland is also rich in history, folklore, literature, and Viking tradition.
Reykjavík ('Smoky Bay') is Iceland's capital and the world's northernmost capital. Reykjavík, with its severe weather conditions, strong winds and reliance upon geothermal heat has another reputation, it's smog free. Exploring this cold city is best done with car rentals. Avoid walking miles around the freezing cold streets of Reykjavik, instead opt for cheap car hire, and see the sights from the comfort of your own vehicle. Snow chains are advisable!
For a cultural insight visit the Old Town, the city's hub, consisting of grassy parks, lakes, markets and museums. For Norse and Icelandic culture, the National Museum has exhibits of religious and folk relics, and tools dating from the period of the island’s settlement. Its prized exhibit is a period church door carved around 1200, depicting a Norse battle scene.
Immediately behind the museum is the Magnússon Institute, containing a famous collection of works returned from Denmark to independent Iceland, including the Landnámabók and Njáls Saga. By far the city's most memorable structure is the beautiful Hallgrímskirkja church built to resemble a mountain of lava.
The city's landscape is marked by its brightly coloured houses and white-washed wooden buildings. Nearly everything of interest is within walking distance of the old settlement. Reykjavik as a wealth of hot outdoor spas and swimming pools, as the city experiences a constant influx of geothermal water from the ground.
For a night out on the town, try the Iceland Runtur, akin to the pub crawl, which involves trawling through the city's hip bars, live music venues and discos, where you can dance the night away with a sophisticated crowd.
Reykjavik's backyard offers unlimited trekking possibilities, ranging from an afternoon hike to a two-week wilderness trek.

Reykjavik also offers world-class skiing facilities, Akureyri, Bláfjöll (just southeast of Reykjavík) and Hlíðarfjall (near Akureyri). Sledding’s a must on the Langjökull Icecap, or whitewater rafting on the Hvítá (White River). Golf fans can tee up for the Arctic Open, held in the North East of the Island at Akureyri. Its attraction is an all-night 'midnight sun' golf tournament fielding amateurs and professionals from around the world.
From Reykjavik, it’s only about a three-hour flight from most European cities and five hours from the North American Eastern seaboard. Tourists may find they have to travel by air to reach a lot of Icelands' attractions and major cities, like Akureyri, depending on the distance and road conditions at the time.
