I can't say really crossed my mind visit Reykjavik while backpacking; tight budget and Iceland are not traditionally synonymous. However, as I discovered recently, it is possible to easily combine the two. Do not put by reputation expensive to plan his sabbatical; Iceland will be an experience that possesses the rest of his life. For accommodation there are some pretty cheap hostels, as well as some good B & B to eat out in Reykjavik will never be 'cheap as chips' but if keeping your eyes wide open and remove the menus before going inside - then you can keep control of the pennies.
Despite my trips there a fair few things on my bucket list and a long weekend in Reykjavik hit three at once. As our taxi took us through the impeccably clean streets, brightly colored roofs glinting beneath the sparkling spring snow, felt an immediate affinity for the city. And do not allow outside Plácido cheat him, there's dynamism to the northernmost city of the worlds that burns bright with midnight oil. Day there are charming walks to take and excellent galleries and museums to visit and some cool night out clubs and bars, but for me there are three things that I just have to do...
Blue Lagoon and Gulfoss
One of Iceland most famous wondered natural, the Blue Lagoon is a teen film 80 corny but a geothermal spa in the middle of a field of lava that not only cleans the skin, but also the soul. As we soaked in steaming waters were stoked by the peace of mind. The light blue sky flew over the turquoise water as a security blanket. I could have been there forever, but reluctantly continue on. We are glad that I did when we saw the impressive cascade of Gulfoss and thermal incredible breath of Geysir and Strokkur…. it is well worth a visit.
Whale watching
This is, literally, an impressive activity that everyone should experience at least once in their life. Take one of the walks in ship leaving port of Reykjavik on a daily basis and will have an excellent opportunity to see a whole series of these majestic animals. We were lucky to mink spot, sperm, humpback and orca on our trip. Blue whales are also a regular visitor to the area.
Northern Lights
Aurora Borealis is one of the most spectacular natural phenomena that this planet has to offer. The best time to envision them is with a clear sky (unfortunately not guaranteed) between September and April. We take a coach tour of the city, but there are also private options. No matter how scientific mind, challenge anyone not blown away by the magic swirl of neon green and purple I flicker and propagate across the sky. It was truly an experience out of this world.
