In this compact guide, Rick Steves covers everything you need to know about Reykjavik, including tips on arrival, orientation, and transportation. Journey through the era of the Vikings at the Saga Museum, soak in the famous Blue Lagoon Hot Springs, and admire Iceland's classic and modern architecture. Sample deliciously fresh seafood, visit the Icelandic Symphony, and pick up a cozy Nordic sweater as a souvenir. You'll get firsthand advice on how to get the most out of the top sights, along with recommendations for good value hotels and authentic local restaurants. The maps and self-guided tours will ensure you make the most of your experience. More than just reviews and directions, a Rick Steves Snapshot is a tour guide in your pocket.

Rick Steves Snapshot guides consist of excerpted chapters from Rick Steves European country guidebooks. Snapshot guides are a great choice for travelers visiting a specific city or region, rather than multiple European destinations. These slim guides offer all of Rick's up-to-date advice on which sights are worth your time and money. They include good-value hotel and restaurant recommendations, with no introductory information (such as overall trip planning, when to go, and travel practicalities).
