You may not agree with what we write or publish, but at least it’s not sponsored content.
Grapevine.is caters to a local and international readership with an interest in Reykjavík society, culture, music, food and travel. At its core, Grapevine.is is the web-edition of the biggest and most widely read English publication in Iceland, The Reykjavík Grapevine.
The site contains articles on all of the main topics of discourse in Iceland, including culture, politics or general social affairs. The site also features a thorough events listing section where one can find updated information and recommendations for shows, concerts, clubs and events and a continuously updated database of Iceland’s main restaurants, clubs, cafés, shops, museums, tours and tourist attractions.
