Cheap flights from Atlanta to Reykjavik from £244

Remember that if you spend more than 40000 Islandic kronas (ca. 2637 euro) in Reykjavik, you can gain from 10 to 17 percent of them back according to the Tax-free system. Don't throw away receipts so that you can show them at customs.

In a city of everlasting sunlight like Reykjavik, hanging out at night is always a good idea. Remember that locals usually start their night drinking at home and usually do not stumble into bars before 23:00. But as soon as an hour hand hits 23:00, head to 101 Reykjavik street and visit Kaffibarinn pub. If you have a sweet tooth, do not miss a chance to try local liquors like Topas or Opal. And for strong drink lovers, there is popular Reyka vodka.

It would be wrong to leave Reykjavik without visiting any public baths. Remember that people here are very strict when it comes to hygiene. According to local rules, you need to shower naked before going to the swimming pool and only then put your bathing suit on. Otherwise, one can expect to be told off by attendants. You’re in Iceland, after all, so try to perceive this feature as a body-positive gesture.
