The Reykjanes Peninsula is the part of Iceland that houses the capital city of Reykjavík. There is much more to this area than meets the eye. Reykjanes is home to beautiful lava fields, black sand beaches, the geothermal paradise of the Blue Lagoon and also Grinavík which is the happiest town in Iceland!

For years The Reykjavík Grapevine has worked on it's "Best Of Iceland" series where we highlight the best and brightest things to see and do across the country. Now we are peeling back the curtain and giving you a chance to follow in our footsteps. Everything you see below has won a Grapevine "Best of" award, these are hand-picked experiences that we have tried and tested ourselves so you know for certain that you will be having a great time.
