Summary
[edit]| Description |
The first thing you should bear in mind when planning a day in Reykjavik is its size; although 275 km2 seems large enough on paper, it pales in comparison to a city like London, which swells to over 1,500 km2. Into this space it packs about 120,000 people, a little over a third of Iceland’s entire population, yet this is significantly less than any of London’s 32 boroughs (apart from the 2.9 km2 City of London), not to mention most other capital cities in Europe. From a tourist’s perspective, it means there aren’t as many things to do in Reykjavik as one might ordinarily expect, and that your trip should therefore be taken at a slower pace, allowing more time to absorb the city’s atmosphere. Indeed, this is a metropolis to be experienced rather than stared at, and many of its main activities revolve around the local people who give it such a distinct character, rather than buildings and sights which comprise its physical presence. |
