and extinct volcanoes. Flying over the newest volcanic eruption in

As a capital, Reykjavík is a metropolitan city, though with a local,
friendly feel and easily-navigable on foot. The world’s northernmost
capital city offers a unique and stylish tone reflected in a vibrant
art scene and avant-garde designs. Reykjavík is also a paradise for
foodies, with fine cuisine and the freshest of Icelandic ingredients.
The city boasts cutting-edge restaurants with a modern twist and
you’ll even find the prices favorable in comparison to other Nordic
cities. Iceland was actually chosen one of the best-value destina-
tions in Europe 2013 by Lonely Planet.
Reykjavík has various meeting facilities. One of the most stunning
venues is Harpa Concert and Conference Center. The building is a
glistening piece of glass by the ocean that has won several interna-
tional awards. Other unique locations are the Blue Lagoon, with its
turquoise waters amidst blackened lava fields, and the pretty island
of Viðey, just a ten-minute boat ride from downtown Reykjavík.
