Is Reykjavík safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

Reykjavik is quirky, safe, and interesting. There are plenty of attractions for days when the weather doesn’t agree with your plans 😅. The Perlan, Hallgrimskirkja, and rainbow road are stand outs. The food and beverages are expensive. Expect to spend $50 USD on a main and $12 USD on a beer.

Family travel

We visited Iceland between July 2-5 and want to share our experience from this short trip. We traveled with British Airways as Lufthansa canceled the flight and missed a night.

Solo travel

Spent 10 days in a camper van, touring through the Ring Road as a solo female traveller in September 2023. The entire country felt safe everywhere. Reykjavik was very nice, people were helpful and friendly.

Reykjavik is over all pretty safe but there are safer places in the country! If youre visiting I definitely recommend not staying in Reykjavik the whole time since theres so much more to see :) Happy and safe travels

City center is quite safe and you don’t really need to worry about any harm coming to you. The nightlife can be a bit wild at times but nothing you can’t handle. Recently there has been an increase in pick pockets at popular tourist attractions but if are mindful it is perfectly safe.

Its a pretty safe city but the crimes are going higher. Sexual assaults when partying down town and murders. Partying down town never leave your glass and don’t trust strangers. Just be awere that’s these things happen.
