Find cheap car rental deals in Reykjavik, Iceland
Iceland’s thrilling, increasingly popular capital is an ice-cool city shaped by lagoons, mountains and ocean inlets. Discover why it’s one of Europe’s hottest destinations right now by driving around the city and surrounding area in an Orbitz-selected rental car.
Explore Reykjavik: Icelandic Culture and Landscapes
Iceland’s exhilarating capital is packed with cultural attractions and sits on the edge of some truly spectacular scenery. Choosing what to do first is intimidating, so to get you started we’ve picked out three places you just have to experience – all just minutes away from each other by car.
Hallgrímskirkja Church
The instantly recognizable Hallgrímskirkja Church is one of the tallest monuments in the city center. It’s not only one of the capital’s most iconic sights, but its tower is open to the public. Clamber up the volcano-inspired column to the top – 15 meters up – for panoramic views of Reykjavik with its mountainous backdrop.
The National Museum of Iceland
For an unrivaled insight into the culture and history of Iceland, visit its national museum. Meet fearsome Vikings, marvel at the medieval engravings of the Valthjófsstadur door and enter traditional Icelandic houses at this immersive and informative museum.
The Old Harbor
While it is possible to eat whale meat in certain Icelandic restaurants, many visitors prefer to head out to sea and watch them swimming through the clear waters. Boats leave from the Old Harbor and take you up close to these magnificent marine mammals – keep your eyes peeled for puffins and dolphins,too.
