Reykjavík is among
the smallest capital cities in the world. However, it is Iceland’s largest
city, with about 60% of the country’s total population. Reykjavík has grown
into an important seaport and center of government and education with theatres,
museums and observatories. It has the features of a modern, forward-looking
society which are complemented by a close connection to beautiful nature right
on the city’s doorstep. Interestingly, this modern city still chooses to use
water from nearby hot springs to heat all of its buildings.
