City Sightseeing tours are generally considered the best way to get a feel for the city you’re in, while at the same time getting a good overview of its history and size. The Reykjavik City Sightseeing bus is no different. It is probably the best way to know Iceland’s capital with 16 handy stops. The Northern Lights Planetarium is one of the best ways to experience this natural phenomenon. With a state-of-the-art interactive film, you will get to see the lights in a totally different way. We recommend you take part in the Northern Lights dance as well! It’s so much fun!
