Common questions

When can I see the Northern Lights in Reykjavik?
September to mid-April, on clear nights when solar activity (Kp index) is at 3 or higher. The city itself has light pollution — head 20-30 minutes out of town for the best chances.
Is Reykjavik expensive?
Yes — among the most expensive cities in Europe. Restaurant mains €25-40, beer €10-13, public transport relatively cheap. Self-catering and tap water (which is excellent) save money.
How long is daylight in Reykjavik?
Extreme range: 21 hours of daylight in June (the famous midnight sun), only 4-5 hours in late December. Pick your season for what you want to see.
What should I pack for Reykjavik?
Layers, a proper waterproof and windproof jacket, sturdy walking shoes, swimwear (for the geothermal pools, year-round). Weather changes in minutes, so dress for all four seasons in one day.
