Reykjavik
Iceland
Reykjavík is the compact, colorful base for Iceland's wonders: Hallgrímskirkja's tower, geothermal pools (locals swim daily), whale-watching from the old harbor, the Golden Circle's geysers and tectonic rifts an hour out, and winter auroras overhead. Small city, enormous day trips.
