History of Reykjavik

Reykjavik has strong Viking roots and what is now the city of Reykjavik began as a small fishing town which was the main settlement in the country. As the population has grown throughout the ages, Reykjavik has expanded to accommodate the majority of Iceland’s population still residing in the capital. The city has had a long journey to reach the vibrant, cultural hub it is today with tourism dramatically increasing over the last two decades. In golfing history, the first of Reykjavik’s golf courses was founded in 1934 and the golfing community has grown rapidly in the last century.

When to visit Reykjavik

Whilst it is always a good time to visit Reykjavik, the time of year to visit depends on the experience you want to have.
