Postcards from Reykjavik, Iceland

Reykjavik is Iceland’s capital and largest city, and one of the smallest capital cities in the world.

Usually, I am not a big fan of spending time in a country’s cities, especially not those where countless adventure activities beckon in surreal and untouched landscapes. Reykjavik city, however, was a little bit different and comes in second to New York on my list of favorite cities in the world. It is probably the peaceful stress-free city life of the Icelandics that first drew me in, coupled with its myriad of marvels for just about everyone who visits. It is a city rich in historical sites, humorous signposts that adorn shopkeepers’ windows, a city where artists from all art forms flock together, and a city that is home to an abundance of untouched natural landscapes.

I have put together this photoblog of some of the things myself and Jess saw on our day on foot in Reykjavik. I never imagined that graffiti could bring a city so alive, and be done so elegantly.

Have you visited a place here that I have forgotten about?
