The capital city and departure point for the outdoor action is a truly quirky and pulsating city - this is a city that elected a comedian as mayor following the financial crisis. Host of the annual Pride Parade the pedestrian centre of Reykjavik is often rocking under the midnight sun, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. There are endless intimate bars and restaurants that offer a genuinely Icelandic slant on entertainment - there isn't a sniff of a franchise bar. For those looking for an entirely different event - Reykjavik can deliver like few other destinations.
