"Although you can see the northern lights from the capital if they're intense, it's wise to plan an outing at least a short drive away from light pollution to maximize your chances. The beautiful Thingvellir National Park is a popular destination from Reykjavík. And the wild Reykjanes peninsula surrounding the city (including the famous Blue Lagoon) is another great place to see the northern lights." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"You'll land in the capital, pick up your rental car (all are equipped for harsh weather conditions, but make sure to get one with GPS navigation), and begin your journey. Reykjavik is a real vibe; it feels like a mountain town mixed with a Scandinavian fishing village with a splash of Brooklyn."
"Skál!, the Reykjavík-based restaurant with its first American pop-up, has a poached egg on a soft roll with Kurobuta ham and Hollandaise sauce." - Susan Stapleton
