While visiting Reykjavik check out the Visit Reykjavik Welcome Card – which discounts some of the capital city’s best attractions.

Iceland is moving up on personal bucket lists not just because it’s bargain priced and closer to the Northeast than Las Vegas. Few countries can match the Ohio-sized island nation when it comes to outdoor adventure activities, a rocking nightclub scene, spectacular scenery, and some of the freshest food and water on the planet. Approximately 500,000 visitors a year come to experience Iceland’s spectacular Northern Lights, glistening waterfalls, ancient geysers, purifying hot springs and spas, hiking and Jeep trails, glacier adventures, and tempting cuisine in world class restaurants – an impressive palette of outdoor adventure, sports, culture and food.
