Think of Iceland and most likely it’s the landscape that comes to mind. Glacial rivers and black sand beaches, lava fields, spouting geysers and cascading waterfalls.
But a capital with an arts and cultural powerhouse, as edgy and experimental as the galleries and theatres of London and New York? Perhaps less so. Yet beyond the stunning scenery, Reykjavik is drawing an international crowd who come for the plays, the avant-garde concerts, the cosmopolitan, quirky exhibitions and the first-class global cuisine.
