Reykjavik is definitely the most laid back and unique capital I’ve ever visited. There are no tall buildings, no chain restaurants and you can cover the entire city on foot. Reykjavik, just like the entire country, is also very safe and the crime is basically non existing there. For that reason, it’s a perfect destination for women traveling solo, especially those who don’t have much experience with traveling alone yet.
