　　Reykjavik1: The Pear l On The Iceland

　　Visit Iceland and you'll enter a whole new realm of experience . You'll discover original nature as you've never seen it before, and the equally original people. Timeless nature, ancient heritage and modern lifestyle coexist in harmony here .

　　Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, is just a part of the Icelandic experience with its midnight sun or the magical landscapes forged by ice and fire. Reykjavik has a population of around 110 000 and offers an interesting mix of cosmopolitan culture and local village roots.

　　Old accounts say the ancient gods themselves guided Iceland's first settler to make his home in Reykjavik. He named the place Reykjavik ( steamy Bay) after the geothermal steam he saw, which today heats homes and outdoor swimming pools throughout the city, a pollution-free energy source that leaves the air outstanding fresh and clean.

　　A beautiful river runs through the city limits, and so do fine parks. In the outskirts are places for horse trekking and golf. But against this backdrop2 of nature, Reykjavik has a packed program of city joys too: art museums, several theaters, an opera house and symphony orchestra spanning the whole spectrum of age and taste.

　　One must for all visitors is dinning out on Icelandic specialties, including delicious seafood, ocean-fresh from the morning's catch, highland lamb and varieties of game. Its purely natural food imaginatively served to delight the most discerning3 of diners. Reykjavik is also renowned as one of Europe 's hottest nightspots, where the action on the friendly pub and nightlife scene lasts right through the night. In the evening, the downtown area teems with activity, reaching its peak on Friday or Saturday. The number of pubs, café, discos, and other night-sports in the downtown area is astonishing. There is a rich variety of places to go : European-style coffee shop, nightclubs with live entertainment, dance halls for seniors, sports-theme pubs with big TV screens, coffee shop that offer over 100 types of beer, an Irish pub, a Spanish café, a French wine bar . . .

　　Walking distances are short downtown, and everything worth seeing outside the city center can be quickly and conveniently reached by bus. With its long easy-going4 main street and large shop too —with a bonus of tax-free shopping for visitors! Be on the lookout just for souvenirs (especially woolens and handicrafts) but also for stylish consumer goods and designer labels at competitive prices.

　　A full range of accommodations is available in Reykjavik, from international-standard hotels with good conference facilities, through smaller hotels and cozy guesthouses, to a campsite in the city's biggest park.
