Additional details
There are two main determining factors that control when is the best time to visit Reykjavik: when the weather is most pleasant, and when you can see the Aurora Borealis, or the Northern Lights.
For weather and sunlight, the best time to visit Reykjavik is definitely from June to August, during the summer. Being so close to the North Pole, Iceland receives over 21 hours of sunlight, which in itself is an incredible thing to experience.
This is also the warmest time of the year, with temperatures averaging in the low-50’s. So while you may need to pack a sweater, light jacket, and rely on layering, it will be much more comfortable than the near-freezing temperatures during the winter.
On the flip side, the best time to see the Aurora Borealis in Iceland (and Reykjavik) occurs when there are the most dark hours in the sky, increasing the probability that these magnetic lights will be visible. If your primary aim when touring Iceland is to see the Northern Lights, your best chances are by far during the month of November (and during 8pm-2am), so try to schedule your trip for then. If this is impossible, the Aurora can still be witnessed anytime between September to March.
As in other Scandinavian countries, the Icelandic are proud of their environmentalism and green habits, including cycling. Because of this Reykjavik has an extensive system of bike paths, and the government intends to expand the system.
During the summer, one of the best ways to explore Iceland is to go on a bike tour. With almost unlimited sunlight, there is no need to worry about making it to a location before dark, and on a bike you will be able to see much more of Iceland’s infamous scenery than walking, but still getting a better feel for the land than in a car. One popular biking route is the famous Golden Circle.
A bike tour is also a great way to get a feel of Iceland’s capital city, Reykjavik. One interesting facet of Reykjavik is that there are no sidewalks, which makes biking through the streets even easier. A bike is a great way to cover ground and appreciate the innovative Icelandic architecture There are also some incredible scenic routes, such as the coastal path to Fossvogsdalur, that do not allow cars.
There are dozens of attractions in Reykjavik, Iceland -- but if you only have a couple of days in this capital city before setting out to face Iceland’s hostile wilderness, here are some must-sees and not-to-be-missed things to do.
In Reykjavik, it’s all about contrast -- futuristic modern architecture against an endless expanse of nature, volcanic activity and glaciers rolled into one, rough seas and rolling hills -- and the same applies to food.
Try hearty Icelandic classics with a modern spin, and treat yourself to an eating experience. One such restaurant is the famed modern Perlan, a glass dome restaurant in one of Reykjavik’s parks.
