Active vacation in Iceland - things to do, entertainment and nightlife
In Iceland, vibrant nightlife is concentrated in clubs and bars, which can be found not only in the capital. Cozy R5 Bar in Akureyri, the “northern capital” of Iceland, is known for a rich selection of beers, including the authentic Icelandic.
