The Reykjavik EDITION: A Modern Oasis in the Heart of Iceland
Curator’s statement

Reykjavík, to me, is like a canvas painted with the vibrant hues of culture and nature. From the pulsating energy of its festivals, like the Reykjavík International Film Festival and the Reykjavík Arts Festival, to the awe-inspiring architecture of the Harpa Concert Hall, this city is a symphony of creativity.

What truly makes Reykjavík exceptional is its unique geographical position. Imagine a place where geothermal hot springs steam in harmony with contemporary city life. The Blue Lagoon, just a stone's throw away, beckons you into its warm, mineral-rich embrace – a natural wonder that soothes both body and soul.

Here's the kicker – despite its capital city status, Reykjavík is surrounded by landscapes that seem plucked from a fantasy novel. Waterfalls cascade, geysers erupt, and untamed beauty unfolds on the Golden Circle and the Reykjanes Peninsula. Nature, it seems, is Reykjavík's most dedicated artist.

Need to Know

For the uninitiated, Iceland's weather can be as unpredictable as a plot twist in a suspenseful novel. So, pack your bags with layers, a waterproof jacket, and sturdy, waterproof footwear – because you never know when the elements might decide to add a dramatic twist to your story.

In the land of ice, the Icelandic Króna (ISK) is the star of the show. While credit cards are widely accepted, stash a bit of cash for those charming, remote shops that add an authentic touch to your journey.

Public transportation is a reliable companion within Reykjavík, but if you're yearning to explore the breathtaking landscapes beyond, consider renting a car. Trust me, the freedom it offers is like having your own magic carpet to traverse Iceland's awe-inspiring terrain.
