User:(WT-en) Snuba Saint Lucia

Snuba is the ultimate happy-medium for those wanting to go beyond snorkeling without the training and concerns associated with a deep dive. The tour begins from a sandy beach and descends to a maximum depth of 20 feet. There is no need to surface for air or to tussle with bulky equipment.

A must try destination when dining out in Perth is a fantastic restaurant/bar that we stumbled over in Subiaco called Social on Station.

We were out for dinner but first found ourselves getting cosy in the chic surrounds of Social's Vodka Lounge for a pre-dinner mood setter...The cocktails were fantastic and the staff made choosing them even more fun and interesting.

One turned into two and two into three, and so goes the story of the night...when we eventually did make it to our table for dinner the place was a buzz with people, all complimented with a live band that added a warming ambience to the room.

The food was sensational and the service was very personable yet unobtrusive. Again, deciding a wine was made easy with some helpful tips from our waiter and the glass was never empty for the duration. The restaurant has a beautiful space and the decor is simply stunning. A highly recommended choice when in Perth WA.

Social on Station Lounge Bar & Restaurant 3/29 Station St, Subiaco WA 6008 +61(08)9380 6277 or visit www.socialsubiaco.com.au

I'm Jeff Leonard, a software engineer living in Portland and originally from Seattle.

I enjoy travelling, mainly for the adventure and to learn about 'foreign' cultures (though hardly any cultures are really foreign to most Americans, since we receive exposure to nearly every culture).

For work I've travelled to Taiwan and South Korea. In Taiwan I've visited Hsinchu, Neiwan, Taipei, Yangmingshan National Park, Jiufen, and Hualien. In South Korea I've visited Seoul, Dobong Mountain, Cheong-Ju, and Jochiwan.

I very much enjoy learning languages and am currently learning Chinese (spoken).

Autobiography

Sonofpatter is the user name of me, Kevin Patterson

For three years I taught US History in Mexico City and then two years in Damascus, Syria. The Syrians would ask me what I was doing there and I would tell them that I was teaching US History; they would give me a funny look and say “What? Are you done in 15 minutes?” I would respond, “Its like our Movies, short, but action-packed!”

I am the moderator/founder for - www.ahwehcafe.com - that posts one (and only one) short travel narrative a day.

My goal of Ahweh Cafe to introduce others to what I consider well-written travel narratives; a style of writing that I feel is under appreciated.

My own home page is www.sonofpatter.com. Most of the images I am posting on wikivoyage can be found through that portal.

User:(WT-en) SONORAMA

About Me
I'm an American fortunate to have an international career that has allowed frequent travel and residence abroad. I love to travel, especially longer trips where I can "settle in" to a place and enjoy it like a local. I've been to a lot of countries, starting with Ecuador as a high school exchange student. That country perhaps inspired a love of mountains. Here's a list of the countries I've been to, or major regions within countries:

 * Ecuador You can't beat the snow capped peaks and high mountains of the Andes. A wonderful, complicated country to live in or travel to.
 * Colombia My travels here are quite limited -- only to Las Lajas, right across the border from Ecuador
 * Bolivia Once I read that one can go skiing here, I had to go]]
 * [[Costa Ric]a Nice place. I spent a summer here while in college
 * The Netherlands I'd like to go back here, was only in Amsterdam for a few days
 * France Only went to Paris for a few days
 * Spain My travels in Europe are indeed rather limited - it was about a week spread over Holland, France and Spain
 * Canada Just a few quick trips. I've never been up north.
 * The Philippines This country is such a unique mix of Asia and Latin America and the USA. Very friendly people. Great memories.
 * China Big, vast country with a very difficult language
 * Tibet The high peaks, haunting vistas, and colorful temples reminded me of Ecuador
 * Taiwan This is without a doubt the best of China. So easy to travel around, people are friendly and straightforward.
 * Vietnam Spent a week in HCMC. Friendly place, still very much a developing country.
 * Singapore Nice.
 * Hong Kong Reminds me of New York only bigger -- virtually everything is a skyscraper. Very easy to travel around, bigger in terms of land area than you expect, and inexpensive if you like Cantonese food.
 * Japan Just two trips here, around Tokyo
 * New Zealand My favorite. Very friendly people and traveler-friendly in general
 * Australia Again, two trips here, mostly around Sydney.  Liked what a saw. Will be back.
 * United States My homeland. The most unique states which I have visited, without a doubt, are Hawaii and Utah.  No mistaking it when you are in those states.  I'm from the Northeast, and once took a bus trip across the country. I'm also very familiar with Tiffin Ohio.

I love reading and editing Wikivoyage and it usually is the first source I turn to when considering travel to a new place. I think it's especially useful for off-the-beaten-path locations and modes of travel.

Future Trips Here's places I'm planning to go to, or would like to go to:
 * Fuzhou, China
 * Japan (again)
 * New Zealand
 * Tasmania
 * Isle of Man
 * Africa
 * Falkland Islands
 * Pitcairn Islands

 * Car rental South AfricaThis car rental website is new on the scene, but offers excellent rates, with a pretty nifty instant quotation system, give them a try!

 * Fish Hoek accommodationI used to stay in Fish Hoek, Cape Town for a few years. Whenever I visit, I stay at the A Whale of a Time. I love their apartments, and the views, its always nice to see Anton and Colleen, who own the establishment.

 * Garden route guest farmThe Garden Route is one of the biggest tourist attractions in South Africa. I have stayed with Engela and her family at their guest farm Zoutpan many times. The farm is perfectly situated between major tourist destinations and is great as a basecamp. Engela's friendly hospitality and fun farm activities are always welcome!

 * Langebaan Luxury AccommodationThe town of Langebaan on the West Coast of South Africa is one of the most beautifull places to stay. This place is amazing, peacefull, not overrun with tourists, but loads of activities and fun things to do!

The business runs from Cape Town, and I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND the chocolate wedding cake with a chocolate collar, berries and broken chocolate cigars!!! If you want to get married in Cape Town, you have got to get one of these cakes.

Contributions I have done here at WikiTravel are dedicated to all the poor and homeless around the world - and a big thanks goes to  Colin Jensen and to all the "warm-hearted" people at WikiTravel for giving me this opportunity to continue contributing to Xiamen, eh, well, adding "links" ; )

Hi, I'm Almario of the South China Travel Guide.com - a foreigner living in Xiamen who just wanted to share with you my personal experiences as well as real-life travel, pains, and "*little success* secrets " about South China.

Being homeless and away from your family for years, is one of those "travel pains" that we all don't want to experience! I hope you benefit from these contributions and successfully "build" your dreams and find a great home and family, like I did, here in South China.

Thanks for traveling here with me together with the "warm-hearted" folks at WikiTravel and please do "ping" me when you're in China.

User:(WT-en) South Sea Nomads

South Sea Nomads is a company set up by a brother and sister duo that operates on Gili Trawangan off Lombok, Indonesia. They run the Gili islands only party boat and offer a couple of other trips that visit the isolated islands, waterfalls, volcanoes, beautiful reefs, wrecks and world class surf breaks of Lombok and Sumbawa.

The Party Boat
The part boat runs 2-3 times per week from Gili Trawangan at 3.30pm. The afternoon is spent cruising around the 3 Gili islands, stopping for time to swim and snorkel before sunset and a tasty dinner is served. After dinner the music gets pumped up and the onboard party continues until around midnight. Its a popular trip so booking ahead is recommended as you cant just turn up in the afternoon and jump on board.

Moyo and Satonda.
The trip to Moyo and Satonda, off the north coast of north Sumbawa, is a 5 night 6 day trip where the nights are spent camping on isolated beaches. Moyo is home to 2 waterfalls, a stunning reef and wall dive and a small world war 2 wreck, whilst Satonda lies north of Moyo and is a small volcano island with a lake in the crater. The island is home to a large colony of bats that fly off to Moyo each evening to feed. Their nightly flight is a truly stunning sight. Around Satonda there are some lovely snorkelling and spots. Moyo and Satonda is also a half way stopping off point for boats that go to Komodo.

Sekotong and Desert Point
The trip to Sekotong and Desert Point is is for 2 nights and 3 days. The time is spent island hopping the untouristy islands of Sekotong and the world class surf break Desert Point.

The Boat Build
In 2009 a brother and sister duo decided to pack up everything they had and head to the Philippines and build a boat. We headed to Southern Leyte and got started by hiring a boat builder and 4 carpenters. We wanted to ensure that the wood we used to build hte boat was legally farmed and part of a tree re-planting program so permits were obtained from the Department of Natural Resources and the next 2 months were spent up in the jungles of Southern Letye finding trees that were large enough for the keel of the boat. Finally we had success and the boat build could start. Over the next few months we had several friends travel out to Southern Leyte and help us with painting, sanding and moral support. Several months of blood sweat, tears and tanduay late the boat was finished and ready for the water.

Southern Leyte to Gili Trawangan
In July 2010 we finally left Southern Leyte on our journey to Indonesia. Our first stop was Cebu City on the neighbouring island of Cebu, after a day of stocking up on a few treasured western food, wine and cider products we left Cebu on our birthday and headed north to Malapascua. As we headed north and cracked open the wine and cider we spotted a water spout several miles ahead. Then another one popped up and within a few minutes there were 4 dead ahead. We could see the storm was moving east to decided to carry on to Malapascua and soon enough the water spouts died away. We spent one night in Malapascua where we met a Finnish couple who asked if they could come with us to Boracay. From that point on we always had backpackers with us.

A few days later we got to Boracay and said a sad fairwell to Kimmo and Sini and welcomed aboard Sarah and Sue from Canada and Dave and Linsay from Scotland. We spent the next 2 weeks travelling to Coron and around to northern Busanga in search of manatees. Lynsays birthday was while we were island hopping off norhtern Busanga and we had a BBQ on a deserted island and left them to sleep on the beach, the following mornign Lynsays flashing a beautiful pearl ring on her engagment finger! Unfortunatly we couldnt find any manatees so after the excitment of the engagment and a few days of searching for manatees we headed south again towards El Nido in Palawan.

Once we arrived at El Nido we spent a few days exploring the beautiful archipeligo before heading to Puerto Princessa. Dave and Lynsay left the boat in El Nido to travel overland, Sarah and Sue stayed aboard and we picked up an American guy called Pete.

We spent a couple of weeks in Puerto Princessa, stocking up supplies, exploring the underground river before visiting immigration for our first experience of exiting a country by boat. We would recommend not dealing with immigration in Palawan, the woman who works there is unbelivably rude!

We left Puerto Princessa with an Austrailian, Arden, and a French Swedidh couple Jans and and headed south to the tiny town of Brookes Point where we had a few problems with the gears but after a couple of days of travelling over land back to Puerto Princessa we got going again and spent out last night in the Philippines on a small island just north of Balabac.

The crossing from the Philippines to Kudat in northern Borneo was great, perfect weather and we all sat out on deck sunbathing as we saw Borneo getting closer and closer. Entering Borneo was painless, the bloke in immigration got slightly excited when he saw Kits passport as he thought he was about to meet Russel Brand! Jans and left us in Kudat to explore Borneos jungles then we headed south to Kota Kinabalu to re supply.

KK harbour has to be one of the most horrible harbours we have visited! We quickly re-stocked, picked up another backpacker Katherine and headed south to Labaun where we stocked up on some duty frees before entering Brunei.

Once in Brunei we met an Austrailian couple on a beautiful catamaran called Shark Bite. By coincidence they were friends with 2 friends of ours who visited us in the Philippines and helped us with sanding and painting!

Once out of Brunei we headed to Miri in Sarawak where we moored up in a marina for the first time and had the luxury of restocking the water from right next to the boat! After a night in Miri we continued south to Kuching.

Kuching is up river and the fresh water killed all the barnacles has had made the boat their home. We said goodbye to Arden in Kuching and welcomed on Matias from Switzland and M from Germany. The 9 days we spent travelling from Kuching to Tioman were some of our favourite of the crossing. We visited past the Anabas islands and did some incredible snorkelling. These islands we will most definatly visit again!

We finally entered Malaysia in late September and spent the following month relaxing in Tioman.

User:(WT-en) Sox2004/DC in 4 days

July 1-5

Saturday, July 1: Flew an 8:30 am flight into Washington, DC (Reagan), arrived by 10. Took a cab ($18) to the apartment I was staying at, dropped off my bags, then went to explore the city.

First, met with some friends at the Tombs, a classy restaurant in the Georgetown area offering moderately-priced food ($15/person). Next went to the Smithsonian Institution to take in the Natural History Museum. The Smithsonian is a huge complex of museums, and you really should take in only one or two a day if you can afford the time.

Following the Smithsonian, we walked back to our apartment taking in the National Mall. Showered up, then went to Old Ebbit's Grill to eat -- an excellent, old-fashioned restaurant.

Sunday, July 2:

Visited the Folk Life Festival on the National Mall, which was an excellent grouping of indigenous folk traditions. Intended to visit the National Archives, which houses the Constitution, but it was closed owing to the flooding, so we detoured to the National Portrait Gallery and the Freer Gallery of Art to check out the lovely Asian exhibit the latter was having.

Dinner at McCormick & Schmidt's (Pricey - $30+) and then went out to Club Heaven & Hell -- the upstairs level features angels and light decor with dancing, whereas the downstairs is set to demonic images with a bar and pool tables.

Monday, July 3:

Checked out the Library of Congress -- featuring the largest collection of books in the world at 100 million (definitely browse the Main Reading Room, it's gorgeous), then headed on over to the Capitol, where we lunched at the Senate Restaurant. Went to Dream Night Club, one of DC's best with 4 floors, 4 decks and some VIP lounges.

July 4

Independence Day! Did the Veteran's Tour, starting with the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial. The Memorial celebrates the famous raising of the flag on top of Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima that is burned in the mind of every American. Afterwards, went to Arlington National Cemetary. When there, be sure to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers and check out the changing of the guard, as well as Robert E. Lee's Arlington House and the Eternal Flame / RFK's tomb.

Watched the fireworks over the Key Bridge - excellent spot to see them.

July 5 - Flight out in the early morning, airport traffic was heavier than usual but light for the time of day. Make sure to do curbside check-in - it's easiest.

User:(WT-en) Srijith/Angkor Wat

History
Located six kilometers north of Siem Reap, Angkor Wat is one of the largest of Khmer monuments. Built around the first half of 12th century by King Suryavarman II, the temple's balance, composition and beauty makes it one of the finest monuments in the world.

Though 'Wat' is the Thai word for temple, the westward orientation of the structure is atypical of temples. Scholars believe that the architecture and sculptures are that of a temple where Lord Vishnu was worshipped but it was also built as a mausoleum for the king after his death.

How to explore
The size of the monuments makes it look overwhelming when one encounters it for the first time. The following is one of the suggested plan to explore Angkor Wat. Enter through the west entrance. When you reach the entry tower, walk to the right to get a glimpse of all the five towering goupras.

Passing the tower and the libraries on both sides of the walkway, climb down the steps towards the left side and get to the water basin. You can catch a glimpse of the temple and its reflection in the water. Go past the basin and reach the left end of the temple.

You would by now have reached the starting point of the famous bas reliefs depicting scenes from various mythological stories and historic events. Walking from left to right you will come across scenes from battle of Ramayana, battle of Mahabharata, army of Suryavarman II, scenes from judgement by Yama (the supreme judge), churning of ocean by demons and gods to get Amrita - the nectar of immortality, Vishnu's victory over demons, victory of Krishna over Bana and other scenes of battle between gods and demons.

Climb the steps to reach the second tier. One can reach the third tier climbing the steps oriented towards any of the four cardinal points. However, it is suggested that the steps on the south be taken as it is supposed to be the easiest to climb.

When to visit
The sight of the grand monument towering over the landscape is breath-taking at any time of day. However, to maximise the effect it is suggested that the first trip to Angkor Wat be made in optimal lighting condtions, usually around 1~2 PM. Sunrise at Angkor Wat is a also great sight to witness. Hence most of the tourists tend to see the sunrise at Angkor Wat, then explore other ruins in the morning and then return back to Angkor Wat later in the afternoon. The sun rises behind Angkor Wat and the best colors are seen just before the sun climbs into view. As the position of the sun as it rises varies according to the time of year, do position yourself accordingly. For example, in November-December time when you facing Angkor Wat, the sun rises on your right hand side. Hence grab a place to the extreme left of the entry tower to see the sunrise. Sunset at Angkor Wat is best viewed either on the top tier or outside the main temple structure.

text:
User:(WT-en) Srijith/Bayon

History
Built in later 12th century by King Suryavarman VII, Bayon is one of the most widely recognised temples in Siem Reap because of the giant stone faces that adorn the towers of Bayon. There is still a debate as to who is being depticted in the faces. It could be Loksvara, Mahayana Buddhism's compassionate Bodhisattva, or perhaps a combination of King Jayavarman VII and Buddha.

How to explore
Bayon's plan can be divided into three levels - the first two are bas-reliefs and the uppermost consists of the central sanctuary. The outer gallery depicts scenes from everyday life and historical events, while the second inner gallery depicts mythical figures and stories.

Enter Bayon from the east. The outer gallery comes into view first. The second gallery is on the next higher level. The third level is where you will encounter large number of the famous faces (and tourists). The fact that these stones are exposed to direct light makes it easy to shoot pictures throughout the day, though mid-day sun eliminates shadows. You will find less tourists too during this time of day.

When to visit
The surrounding and the tall towers makes Bayon a bit dark and flat for study and photography near sunrise and sunset. Hence, it is best to visit Bayon when there is plenty of light. 10:00 morning to around 4:00 in the evening is the stretch most people prefer.

I live near Olympia, WA and love to travel. I grew up as a "military brat" and moved frequently as a child, once every 2 - 3 years. As a child I lived in southern and northern California, western Washington, Virginia and Bermuda. I like to travel with my wife and family.

I don't consider my travel experience to be extensive - here are the countries I've visited: England, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France, Austria, India, Canada and Mexico. I've visited approximately 1/2 of the United States.

Places I have a great interest in visiting include: Japan, Thailand, China, the Caribbean, India, Italy, Croatia, Australia, Costa Rica, Brazil, South Africa and many others. My greatest barriers to travelling more is time and to an extent money.

I believe travel is greatly important to get an expanded view of the world and my place in it, as well as my country's. Travel is the best way to experience and understand other cultures and also makes me really appreciate living where I do.

Hello out there,

I use Wikivoyage to get travel information, especially for my soon coming trip to New Zealand, where I will stay for about 8 months - from July 2004 to April 2005.

I spent my childhood in Dingelstädt, a very small town in the middle of Germany. Currently I'm living in Erfurt, the capitol of Thuringia.

Please, feel free to drop me a line. Perhaps I see you in NZ :-)

Hi. See my Wikipedia page for more about me.

I'm an occassional contributor to Wikivoyage at this point. I'm especially interested in co-operation and co-ordination issues with other projects. I also intend to noodle around on various and sundry destinations in Canada.

I taught English in South Korea from January to November 2002 (I had to leave early because of a family illness). This was my first, and, so far, my only, major travel experience. Ok, there was also my trip to Disney World in grade five...

My name is Sölvi and I'm a native of Reykjavík. I recently moved back there after living in Camden, and a long time ago I lived in Canberra.

I tend to travel quite a bit, and like to be able to rely on Wikivoyage when doing so. In return, I make a few edits when I feel like it.

Do

Arts and culture
Reykjavík has a remarkably active cultural scene for a city of its size. There are a number of art galleries, theaters and concert venues. Some of these are listed below, but many of the places mentioned in the “drink” section below also frequently host concerts. There are no dedicated literary locations listed here, but for book readings it may be best to visit book stores and libraries and ask the staff what's coming up.

 * the national art gallery with a large collaction of works by Icelandic 19th and 20th century artists, as well as some works by foreign artists including Picasso, Munch and others.

 * By the old harbour in Reykjavík, Hafnarhúsið hosts a rotating exhibitions of the work of Icelandic artist Erró and temporary exhibitions often showcase other local artists.

 * It is safe to say that Jóhannes Kjarval (1885-1972) is the single biggest name in Icelandic painting. Kjarvalsstaðir hosts a collection of his work, as well as hosting other temporary exhibitions.

 * A very small museum with a nice library and reading room where you can find some older (but good) books about photography and current and past issues of photography magazines. It also has a huge collection of Icelandic photographs.

 * A cultural centre located in Vatnsmýri, just south of the city centre. Art exhibitions, concerts, poetry readings and other cultural events frequently take place here.

 * The new home of the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra and regularly host to other acts as well. Delayed by the economic collapse, this building was under construction for several years before finally opening in May 2011. This marked the end of a long wait for the symphony orchestra, who had been using a cinema as their main venue the last 50 years. Today the symphony plays a concert every Thursday evening from September through June (although often at other times as well), but the building is rarely empty at other times with Iceland's lively music scene having embraced this new location.

 * One of the few dedicated music venues in Reykjavík, located right in the heart of the city by Austurvöllur square. Hosts everything from local rock bands to internationally renowed world music groups. Check their listings online.
 * <do name="National Theatre of Iceland" alt="Þjóðleikhúsið" address="Hverfisgata 19" directions="" phone="+354 551 1200 for tickets" url="http://leikhusid.is/leikhusid/english" hours="" price="" lat="" long="" email="" fax="">A theatre in the centre of Reykjavík, in many ways the focal point of Icelandic theatre. The repertoire is a mix of Icelandic and international plays, both new and old.</do>

 * <do name="Reykjavík City Theatre" alt="Borgarleikhúsið" address="Listabraut 3" directions="adjecent to Kringlan shopping mall" phone="+354 568 8000 for tickets" url="http://www.borgarleikhus.is/english" hours="" price="" lat="" long="" email="" fax="">Like the national theatre, the city theatre puts on a mix of new Icelandic plays and highlights of international theatre.</do>
 * <do name="Vesturport" alt="" address="Tjarnarbíó, Tjarnargata 12" directions="on the west bank of Tjörnin" phone="" url="http://www.vesturport.com" hours="" price="" lat="" long="" email="vesturport@vesturport.com" fax="">This experimental theatre group has toured the world and won many prizes for its daring productions which include Romeo and Juliet, Woyczek and others. They have also made films including the acclaimed Children and Parents, in 2006 and 2007 respectively.</do>

Museums
Several museums in Reykjavík celebrate the history of the city, as well as the country itself.

 * <do name="National Museum of Iceland" alt="Þjóðminjasafnið" address="Suðurgata 41" directions="Bus no. 1,3,4,5,6,12 and 14 stop in front of or near the museum" phone="+354 530 2200" url="http://www.thjodminjasafn.is/english" hours=""Winter (September 16th - April 30th): Daily except Mondays 11-17. Summer (May 1st - September 15th): Daily 10-17." price="General admission: 1000 kr., senior citizens and students: 500 kr., children under 18: free" lat="" long="" email="thjodminjasafn@thjodminjasafn.is" fax="">This museum, located right by the University of Iceland campus, takes the visitor through the history of a nation from settlement to today. Includes a café and a museum shop.</do>

 * <do name="Reykjavík City Museum" alt="Árbæjarsafn" address="Kistuhyl" directions="Bus nr. 19 from Hlemmur" phone="+354 411 6300" url="http://www.minjasafnreykjavikur.is/english/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-4203" hours="10am-5pm daily between 1 June and 31 August. During winter there are guided tours at 1pm Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays" price="1000 kr., free for children under 18" lat="" long="" email="museum@reykjavik.is" fax="">In the suburb of Árbær, and frequently called Árbæjarsafn (Árbær museum), this open air museum contains both the old farm of Árbær and many buildings from central Reykjavík that were moved there to make way for construction. The result is a village of old buildings where the staff take you through the story of a city. The staff are dressed in old Icelandic clothing styles and trained in various traditional techniques, for example in making dairy products or preparing wool.</do>

 * <do name="871±2" alt="The Settlement Exhibition" address="Corner of Aðalstræti and Suðurgata" directions="" phone="+354 411 6300" url="http://minjasafnreykjavikur.is/english/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-4206" hours="10am-5pm daily" price="1000 kr., free for children under 18" lat="" long="" email="museum@reykjavik.is" fax=""R>un by the Reykjavík City Museum, this exhibition in central Reykjavík was built around the oldest archaeological ruins in Iceland. As the name indicates, these ruins date to around the year 870. This interactive exhibitions brings you the early history of the area that today forms central Reykjavík.</do>

 * <do name="The Culture House" alt="Þjóðmenningarhúsið" address="Hverfisgata 15" directions="" phone="+354 545 1400" url="http://www.thjodmenning.is/index_english.htm" hours="11am-5pm daily" price="Adults: 700 kr.; senior citizens, disabled and handicapped: 350 kr.; school-age children accompanied by adults: free. Free on Wednesdays except for groups." lat="" long="" email="thjodmenning@thjodmenning.is" fax="">This grand building, previously housing the national library, is today home two world class exhibitions. On the ground floor is one of the most important collections of medieval manuscripts in the world, including many of the oldest copies of the Icelandic Sagas. The top floor has an impressive exhibition on the Volcanic island of Surtsey, backing the Iceland's campaign to get it recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is fully interactive and a great introduction to the geological hot spot that is Iceland.</do>

Festivals
At least three times a year, Reykjavík comes out to celebrate.

 * <do name="Culture Night" alt="Menningarnótt" address="" directions="" phone="" url="http://www.menningarnott.is" hours="third saturday of August" price="" lat="" long="" email="" fax="">This is the biggest date in the cultural calendar of Reykjavík. What started out in 1996 as only an evening celebration today starts already in the morning with the Reykjavík Marathon. The day progresses with ever more cultural activities, most of them free, in central Reykjavík and culminates in several huge concerts and a fireworks show by the harbour. Attendence is usually around 100,000 or half of the population of the city.</do>

 * <do name="Gay Pride" alt="Hinsegin dagar" address="" directions="" phone="" url="http://www.gaypride.is/Index/English/" hours="early August" price="" lat="" long="" email="" fax="">Icelanders are proud of their LGBT community, and every August they show it with one of the biggest annual festivals in Reykjavík. Typically a parade will wind its way through the city with floats of varying degrees of outrageousness. It then ends at Arnarhóll with a large outdoors concert. Gay bars and bars that normally don't self-identify as gay alike tend to be very full this evening. In the preceding days there are various events celebrating LGBT culture.</do>

 * <do name="National Day" alt="17. júní" address="" directions="" phone="" url="" hours="" price="" lat="" long="" email="" fax="">It may come as a surprise, but the National Day celebrations on June 17th every year are probably the smallest of the three festivals mentioned here. Nonetheless, it is a public holiday day of festivities in the city where people (especially families with children) celebrate the date Iceland was declared a republic in 1944. The date itself was selected because it is the birthday of the Icelandic independence hero Jón Sigurðsson.</do>

Get in touch with nature
If you want to experience some of Iceland's nature but don't have time to leave the capital for too long, don't worry, you have several options to get a good feel for nature and the countryside without actually leaving the city.

 * <do name="Whale watching" alt="" address="" directions="most ships sail from Ægisgarður in the old harbour" phone="" url="" hours="" price="around 7000-8000 kr., often half price for children" lat="" long="" email="" fax="">With the exception of Húsavík in the north, Reykjavík is actually one of the very best places to go whale watching in Iceland. Whales frequently come into Faxaflói, the large bay which Reykjavík sits by and on a typical trip of around 3 hours you can almost be guaranteed to see at least some minke whales and possibly even a humpback. The companies offering whale watching mostly occupy a small area in the old harbour called Ægisgarður, just across from the iconic whaling ships.</do>

 * <do name="Horse riding" alt="" address="" directions="" phone="" url="" hours="" price="" lat="" long="" email="" fax="">One of the most popular tourist activities in Iceland due to the special nature of the Icelandic Pony. Although by definition more of a rural activity, there are several companies offering riding tours on the outskirts of Reykjavík, this can be a good option for those not planning on travelling far from the city.</do>

 * <do name="Hiking" alt="" address="" directions="" phone="" url="" hours="" price="" lat="" long="" email="" fax="">The immediate vicinity of Reykjavík offers some good hiking opportunities. By far the most popular among these is Esjan, the mountain that dominates the view to the north from much of the capital and is easily accessible by bus nr. 57. It's a relatively easy hike although there is a steep patch early on and at the tops there are some cliffs to climb. You can estimate 4-5 hours to get to the top and back again, although experienced walkers will be quicker. Another popular place to experience nature is Heiðmörk, a green belt to the southeast of the capital. Heiðmörk mostly flat and there are many paths criss-crossing the area, but getting there may be difficult without a car.</do>

 * <do name="Reykjavík Domestic Animal Zoo" alt="Fjölskyldu- og húsdýragarðurinn" address="Hafrafell v/ Engjaveg" directions="in Laugardalur" phone="+354 57 57 800" url="http://www.husdyragardur.is/in-english/" hours="" price="Admission: Adults (12 years +): 450 ISK, Children (Under 4 years): Free, Children (4 - 12): 350 ISK" lat="" long="" email="postur@husdyragardur.is" fax="">This small zoo, in the middle of Reykjavík, is a place where city children can come and get in touch with some of the farming heritage of the country, with most species of domestic animals found in Iceland represented. They also have some non-domestic animals including reindeer and seals.</do>

Geo-Thermal Swimming Pools
Outdoor Geo-Thermal Swimming Pools are an important part of Icelandic culture and a visit to them is a great way to relax with Icelanders. In fact it is not stretching the truth too far to suggest that because drinking is so expensive the hot-pots at these pools serve the same role that pubs and bars do in the rest of Europe.

 * <see name="Laugardalslaug" alt="" address="Sundlaugarveg" directions="In the same complex as the National Stadium. Near campsite and youth hostel" phone="+354 411 5100" url="http://www.rvk.is/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-283/" hours="" price="450 ISK" lat="" long="" email="laugardalslaug@itr.is" fax="">The city's largest pool with extensive facilities, situated in Laugardalur Valley. It has two large pools for swimming, several hot-pots, a seawater bath, a steam bath, and water slide. It is a well-used large complex that is starting to show its age a little but it is still the best option in the city centre.

 * <see name="Árbæjarlaug" alt="" address="Fylkisveg, 110 Reykjavík" directions="" phone="+354 411 5200" email="arbaejarlaug@itr.is" fax="" url="http://www.rvk.is/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-278/" hours="Weekdays: 6:30am - 10:30p, Weekends summer: 8am - 10pm, winter: 8am - 8:30pm" price="350 ISK">A brand new complex on the outskirts of the city, it has nice views over the city centre and is a nice place to watch the sunset. There is an indoor and outdoor pool, a waterslide, several hot-pots and a steam bath. This is a favourite with families and is perhaps the nicest of the city's pools. Buses run here from central Reykjavik.

 * <see name="Sundhollin Swimming Centre" alt="" address="Baronsstigur, 101 Reykjavik" directions="Located a few minutes from Hallgrimskirkja" phone="+354 411 5350" email="sundholl@itr.is" fax="" url="http://www.rvk.is/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-284/" hours="Weekdays: 6:30am - 9pm, Weekends: 8am - 7pm" price="">The city's oldest and only indoor pool (with outdoor hot-pots), located in the city centre. Has a more municipal feel than the other pools, but has a very central location.

Located in a residential area but within a walking distance of the city center.

 * <see name="Nautholsvik Thermal Beach" alt="" address="" directions="To the south of the domestic airport" phone="511 6630" url="http://www.rvk.is/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-292/" hours="10:00 to 20:00 from 15th May until 15th September" price="" lat="" long="" email="" fax="">Here you can swim in the Atlantic, because they pipe hot water into the ocean. A beach of golden sand has been created and a “pool” has been enclosed nearby, where the water temperature is about 20ºC. There are several hot-pots. Refreshments and various services are available at the beach.

It is possible to hire swimsuits and towels at all the pools. As Icelandic pools have very minimal amounts of chemicals in them it is very important to shower thoroughly naked beforehand, and pay attention to the notices and posters that highlight hygiene issues.

User:(WT-en) Steven Hampshire

Hi there. I'm Steven and I like travel quite a bit. I own carrentals.co.uk so that gives me some pretty solid excuses to travel for work. I like my life and realize I'm a lucky man to live where I am, when I do.

I've seen almost every country in Europe, a few in the middle east, another few in Asia, Australia and New Zealand and even some of the Americas. I love to travel and hope I can do it into my eighties.
