Iceland is a wonderful country to visit! Nature, people and food will surprise and leave you speechless..in a good way. It is indeed quite expensive to travel there so plan ahead, look for locals preferance for pubs and restaurants and do wear warm clothes.

A really cute city, in my opinion 2 days are enough to explore everything. Be aware that the prices are super high, I would recommend bringing your own food since a simple kebab there costs 20€ (in Berlin it’s 6-8€). Also there are more tourists than locals

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.

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.
