Today’s favorite place is from Julie McNamee of Quirky Travel
Julie’s Favorite Place: Reykjavik, Iceland
Why She Loves Reykjavik
“Reykjavik has the coolest, funniest, most laid-back people you’ll come across. It has beautifully colourful corrugated iron houses because it has few trees. It’s surrounded by volcanoes and you can smell the sulphur. It’s heated solely by geothermal energy. It has a spectacular cathedral. What’s not to like about Reykjavik?”Julie’s Favorite Things to Do and See in Reykjavik
- Have fish and chips at Iceland Fish and Chips
- Take a Golden Circle tour with Iceland Horizons
- Take a guided cultural walk with Goecco
- Watch the Volcano Show in a cinema run by a vulcanologist and film director
- Visit the Blue Lagoon

Hi Kate
I just came back from there and I’ve a couple more tips your visitors might find useful.
Eat at Tapas Barinn – reasonably priced Icelandic tapas. Especially try the beef in liquorice sauce (they’re big fans of liquorice in Iceland)
And a great central hotel to stay in is Reykjavik Residence – great staff and a lovely, Scandinavian-stylish, quiet room.
Thanks Julie – so helpful to here first hand experiences. I’m still dreaming of a visit to the Iceland fish and chips you recommended – looks amazing!
