Synopsis
This pocket guide to the northernmost capital city in the world covers nightlife, whale-watching, weird lava formations, hot springs and people who catch puffins for dinner. It is intended for citybreakers looking for something schizophrenic, from Bjork's favourite bar to imitating James Bond and Lara Croft on the largest glacier in Europe, to relaxing spa breaks in the midnight sun and modern art seen in that peculiar Icelandic way. There is information on all-action sports, bohemian bars, modern art, hotels and clubs. The book also covers the best day and weekly trips to be made into the wild moonscape of Iceland, from the popular Blue Lagoon to Hafnarfjordur, the best place pixies and elves in Iceland and Husavik, a whale-watching centre.

Review
"Footprint’s superstylish travel guides are perfect for short break addicts." -- Harvey Nichols magazine, Spring 2003
From the Author
Go to Reykjavik. Honestly, just go. You've never lived until you've been to this weird corner of the world - and take this guide with you to give you a fighting chance of coping with it.
To an outsider, life in this city is all a bit barmy. It’s a party-all-night-until-the-next-afternoon-and-make-new-best-friends-along-the-way kind of madness. It’s an eating-grilled-guillemot-and-puffin-for-dinner madness. It’s a confusing similarity of names. It’s a mingling of the hot - volcanoes, natural springs and women- with the not - glaciers , chilled Brennivín and Viking beer.
And it’s so much more: 24-hour daylight in the summer; inspiring hiking and birdwatching; painfully hip bars and cafes; frighteningly strong coffee; striking modern architecture; a dearth of trees; a mountain that turns purple at sunset; a city with a sense of peace and purity; clean air with a tang of salt, sulphur and fish.
Go on, book a flight. You won't regret it.
