This weekend The Reykjavík Maritime Museum will re-open after renovation. On a display are two new exhibitions: "Fish & people" and "Melckmeyt 1659". Entrance this weekend is free.

The artwork on show reflects Icelandic nature as interpreted by different artists, with different styles, from various periods.

It's common with most visitors wanting to mix in with the locals. Reykjavík's swimming pools have served this purpose well, but in the neighborhoods outside of the city's center, some great cafés and restaurants are to be found that are mainly frequented by locals.

The Festival of the Sea will be held 2nd-3rd of June.

It's no secret the Reykjavík has ranked high on the World's priciest cities index in recent years. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy the city's charm and culture on a budget. Here are some suggestions on how to make your awesome stay budget friendly.

The City's oldest house has become a part of Reykjavík City Museum. With two exhibitions on display, the museum is dedicated to Reykjavík in the 18th and early 19th century.

Last week the online travel service Travel Bird released the Green Cities Index of 2018. On top of the list, Iceland's capital can be found, with 411 square meters of green space per person.

The days from 28th of March to 1st of May in Reykjavík are dedicated to the Icelandic horse. You can experience this true force of nature in the city's center, as well as in natural surroundings.

Whatever questions you have, and how basic, complicated or strange they may seem, we'll happily answer them.

Just opened in the Reykjavík Museum of Photography is the exhibition "Home" by artist Hanna Siv Bjarnardóttir. Dedicated to the "classic" Icelandic home, the photographs give an interesting insight into the country's way of living.

Hanna visited a number of senior citizens living in Stokkseyri, a small town in the south of Iceland. In a short window of time, she learned many things about the people living there, with their homes reflecting their owner's personalities and the stories of their lives, as well as Icelandic culture.

The exhibition is open until May 29th.
