"Footprint’s superstylish travel guides are perfect for short break addicts."

Synopsis
This pocket guide to the northernmost capital city in the world covers nightlife, whale-watching, weird lava formations, hot springs and people who catch puffins for dinner. It is intended for citybreakers looking for something schizophrenic, from Bjork's favourite bar to imitating James Bond and Lara Croft on the largest glacier in Europe, to relaxing spa breaks in the midnight sun and modern art seen in that peculiar Icelandic way. There is information on all-action sports, bohemian bars, modern art, hotels and clubs. The book also covers the best day and weekly trips to be made into the wild moonscape of Iceland, from the popular Blue Lagoon to Hafnarfjordur, the best place pixies and elves in Iceland and Husavik, a whale-watching centre.

(Report this)   9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Best little travel book I have ever bought., 13 Oct 2006 By  Belgrano (UK) - See all my reviews This review is from: Reykjavik (Footprint Pocket Guides) (Paperback) This is, quite simply, one of the most concise, accesible, easy to use and genuinely informative city guides I have ever bought. If you are going to Iceland for the first time, I would recommend using this to explore the capital city. Some of the suggestions in here are not the most obvious ones, and fill in the spaces between the more visited sites, such as the Halgrimskirka. For me, this is high praise, as I'm usually very critical of travel books. It fits neatly into an average-sized pocket too!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
