Reykjavík and the surrounding towns have a population of some 180.000, around 60 % of the Icelandic nation. The Reykjanes peninsula hosts the international airport and many impressive natural wonders. One of the country’s best salmon rivers, Elliðaár, runs right through Reykjavík and is yet unpolluted and clear. It offers anglers a rare opportunity to land a salmon just by a busy motorway. Other recreational options include midnight golfing, horse trekking and whale watching.
In year 2000 Reykjavík held the title of European City of Culture, an acknowledgement of the vigorous cultural life, including its various festivals and a remarkable selection of artistic events. At the same time the capital has been called the hottest one in Europe because of its famed and dynamic nightlife. Reykjavík brilliantly combines the qualities and comforts of modern urbanity and the intimate connection to amazingly beautiful nature. The adjoining towns also offer attractions, such as the unique and very popular elf-spotting tours, an annual Viking feast, guided tours to places of historical interest or the largest shopping mall in Iceland.
