Why Choose Reykjavík? 2008-10-26 15:20:00 Well, we happen to think that Reykjavík and Iceland for that matter, are pretty special.Iceland is home to around 300,000 people and 120,000 of them live in Reykjavík - that's not many - and if you're like us and want to stay in a city that is as cosmopolitan as its European counterparts, but without all the manic hustle and bustle, then Iceland's capital is for you.The architecture is a mix of

Learn the Lingo? 2008-09-02 06:59:00 You maybe wondering whether it's worth learning Icelandic.The germanic type language is still original to that spoken by the first Viking settlers to Iceland, so it is an old and probably quite a special tongue.
