Stop off at the Old Harbour, a real cultural hot spot. Full of an explosion of colours, each building has a unique character, and there are plenty of boat tours to choose from. Why not go for a spot of whale watching, hoping to see minke and dolphins, porpoises or even humpback whales? For an exciting taste of history and archaeology, visit Reykjavik City Museum and enjoy a high-tech, interactive multi-media experience, which will delight all the family. Technology meets history here as the museum's exhibition is centred round the excavation of a Viking longhouse dating from the 10th century.

Hop off at Laekjargata and see some of the oldest houses in Iceland, a street that fully reflects this city's culture. Visit the Laugardalur Valley, also known as the Hot Spring Valley. Here you'll be able to swim in the outdoor heated pools, no matter what the weather conditions are like. The zoo and botanical garden is nearby too, a great day trip out for all the family.

A stop at the Pearl is not to be missed - a remarkable building constructed in 1988. It is entirely unique, not only in Iceland but perhaps in the whole world. Comprised of a glass dome perched atop huge hot water tanks, the Pearl affords great views of the capital area and beyond.

Then, head to the University District. Visit the National Museum to get a sense of Iceland's past, present and future. Reopened after extensive refurbishment, the museum now houses fresh, dynamic exhibits.
