The Reykjavík Grapevine


Activities

As Reykjavík’s long-time arbiters of taste, the Reykjavík Grapevine compiles panels of experts and know-it-alls annually to bestow the title of Best™ on the the greatest things to do across a range of categories.

Get out of the city and into the sunshine! Or stay inside, we’re not the boss of you. Whatever you’re in the mood for, here are some of our suggested favourite places to catch the latest movies, have a soak or break an ankle hiking up a hill in a level 5 storm. It’s really up to you! (But seriously, don’t go hiking in a storm.)
