"Friendly, artistic, encapsulated by naturally stunning landscapes, and now home to an increasingly smart, forward-thinking hotel scene-it's little wonder Reykjavik has become one of the world's most desirable travel destinations. Its architecture is diverse, made up of multi-colored, surprisingly low-rise buildings and pavements sprinkled with street art. Its predominantly locally sourced food and drink scene, meanwhile, fizzes with fermented creations and boundary-pushing concoctions from venues such as the upscale and waste-combating Artson Cocktail Bar."
"Indeed, the fresh-aired city has earned its right to a reputation as a pioneer in sustainability and responsible tourism too, via its long-term focus on low-carbon transport (there are plenty of rentable e-scooters around town), green energy sources, and total ban on single-use plastics, plus its wealth of eco-friendly things to do, such as dipping into geothermal pools (or the nearby Blue Lagoon and its own chic Retreat Hotel), and camping in its lush Laugardalur Valley."
