What to do in Reykjavík. There are endless things to do in Reykjavik, but here´s a list of the top ten experiences you can´t miss when visiting Reykjavik!

1.Eat cheap Eat a hot dog from Baejarins Beztu hot dog stand, where there´s always a line and many tourists agree its probably the best hot dog in the world.

2.Go swimming in Reykjavik Go swimming in a public pool, getting naked with the locals in the shower and enjoying a soak in an outdoor hottub even if its -5° outside. And for only 550ISK, its probably the cheapest spa treatment you can buy!

3.Visit the Church of Hallgrim Take the elevator to the top of Hallgrimskirja, and check out the panoramic view of downtown Reykjavik.

4.Reykjavik Nightlife Party until 5 am in the morning on Laugavegur, when all the lights come on and drunk partiers pile out onto the street to find their way back home. And check out this article on Nightlife and mating if you want to get lucky doing it!
