Reykjavik
Welcome to Reykjavik – Iceland’s compact and colourful capital, where Nordic design, culture and city life meet the dramatic landscape of the North Atlantic.
Discover Reykjavik
Reykjavik is easy to explore on foot and offers an appealing mix of architecture, restaurants, cafés, museums, shopping and waterfront walks. Even with a busy congress programme, many of the city’s best-known sights can be experienced within a few hours.
Hallgrímskirkja
Reykjavik’s landmark church rises above the city centre and is one of the easiest places to recognise on the Reykjavik skyline.
Harpa & the waterfront
Walk along the harbour to Harpa Concert Hall and continue along the waterfront towards the Sun Voyager sculpture with views across Faxaflói Bay.
Laugavegur
Reykjavik’s central shopping street is lined with independent shops, cafés, restaurants and bars and is a natural starting point for exploring downtown.
Old Harbour
The Old Harbour combines maritime character with restaurants, museums and easy access to the waterfront.

Experience Iceland
Reykjavik is also a convenient base for experiencing Iceland’s geothermal landscapes, coastlines and natural attractions. If your travel schedule allows, consider adding extra time before or after NUGA 2028 to explore beyond the capital.
