Herb Lester: Around Reykjavik

Reykjavik is unlike other cities. Its 120,000 inhabitants sustain a thriving art and music scene and several book and record shops, all in an area that can be strolled across in 30 minutes. The locals’ love of hotdogs is in keeping with other Nordic cities, but here they’re all made from organic lamb. You can spot whales from its shores and they’re on its menus too. And then there’s the world beyond Reykjavik, an extraordinary and varied landscape dotted with geysers, glaciers, waterfalls and black sand beaches.

Herb Lester Associates publish guides for tourists and locals: witty, pretty, curious and opinionated. We research, write, print and distribute maps and guides to the world’s great cities. We seek out the well-used and much-loved, and enjoy the extraordinary as well as the everyday. Old bookshops and new coffee shops, park benches and dive bars, hat shops and haberdashers: this is the world according to Herb Lester.
