Cheap flights from Belfast to Reykjavik from £144

Untypical for a European capital, in Reykjavik, you can find pretty good souvenirs even in the supermarket. Smoked salmon is highly appreciated among locals. For an authentic breakfast, take a piece of Icelandic brown bread, put a slice of salmon and splatter some drops of lemon juice on it. If you enjoy fish, you will be satisfied with this purchase. And don't forget to take some with you to treat friends at home.

Hakarl can satisfy even the most sophisticated gourmet's needs. The hakarl is served in Islenski barinn bar located on Ingolfsstraeti, 1a street. It tastes better with a glass of traditional unsweetened alcoholic schnapps, Brennivin. Fermented shark meat sounds scary, and it has an unusual taste indeed. But one person's disgusting food may be another person's delicacy. That's why it is worth trying.

If you go to observe geysers, do not forget to look into Efstidalur cafe. Geothermally baked bread is not a marketing trick; it has a special taste. Also, it does not cost much.
