Reykjavik the Northernmost capital in the world

We are born and raised in Reykjavík. Reykjavík Centre has a special meaning to us because we have seen it grow almost from turf houses to the large concrete buildings we see today. Reykjavík is a mixture of the old and the new.Street art, museums, culture and more can be found in our beautiful capital.
