From time to time we like to take a look at special tours available throughout the year. Perfect for those with just a short layover in the country, the Reykjavik Grand Excursion is a detailed and comprehensive introduction to Reykjavik’s past and present. During this 2-1/2 hour tour, Reykjavik’s main attractions are highlighted on foot and by bus.
The main landmarks, such as The Pearl, Hallgrímskirkja church, the National Museum of Iceland, the harbor and the famous 101 Reykjavik neighborhood are visited.
Reykjavik’s unique proximity to nature, with salmon river Elliðaá running through it, a thermal beach at Nauthólsvík, green valleys and outdoor swimming pools, makes this city second to none in the world. The cost is 4900 kronur, or about $40. (For more information:www.re.is)
