Reykjavik (Footprint Pocket Guides) Book

There has been an explosion of tourism to Iceland in recent years, with people drawn by its unusual -- some might say schizophrenic -- combination of extraordinary natural wonders and frenetic nightlife, from strange lava formations to Bjork's favorite bar. The first comprehensive guide to the northernmost capital city in the world, this book blends together the seemingly unconnected strands of Iceland -- all-action sports, bohemian bars, and modern art. Lightweight and portable, this pocket-sized guide provides an informative and entertaining package of ideas and suggestions covering all the latest developments, from new hotels and clubs to new tours and trips. A quirky, funky guide like the city itself, Footprint Reykjavik offers suggestions on the best day and weekly trips into the wild moonscape of Iceland including the popular Blue Lagoon, a whale-watching center, and the area reputed to be the best place to chase pixies and elves in Iceland. Fully integrated with the text, ten pages of two-color maps help travelers navigate the city streets with ease. Like other titles in Footprint's new series of pocket guides, Footprint Reykjavik contains "Ten of the best" things to do and "At a glance" -- the city in a nutshell plus an ever-useful trip planner.Read More
