Reykjavík (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈreiːcaˌviːk], English /ˈreɪkjəˌvik/; RAYK-yə-veek) is the capital and largest city of Iceland. It has a latitude of 64°08' N, making it the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign state and a popular tourist destination. It is located in southwestern Iceland, on the southern shore of the Faxaflói Bay. With a population of around 120,000 (and over 200,000 in the Capital Region), it is the heart of Iceland's cultural, economic and governmental activity.
Reykjavík is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which Ingólfur Arnarson is said to have established in AD 874. Until the 18th century, there was no urban development in the city location. The city was founded in 1786 as an official trading town and grew steadily over the next decades, as it transformed into a regional and later national center of commerce, population, and governmental activities. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world.

In dieser Folge sucht sich Thomas die am nördlichsten gelegene Hauptstadt der Welt, Reykjavik, aus. Alles scheint hier sehr ungewöhnlich: die Stadt hat nur knapp 120.000 Einwohner und gilt mit Björk als internationalem Star als eine der lebendigsten Musikmetropolen. Und das alles auf einer Vulkaninsel aus Feuer und Eis, Island, deren Bewohner Nachkommen der Wikinger sind. Städtereisen intim und hautnah. Mit der Videokamera in der Hand und dem Couchsurfer-Portal im Laptop taucht Thomas Niemietz in sechs angesagten Metropolen in die Leben junger Urban Natives ein. Donnerstag 20.15 in EinsPlus.

With a population of only 300,000, Iceland can feel like the most isolated place on earth, yet its capital Reykjavik, is only a three-hour flight from London and just under six from New York. Reykjavik is relaxed and welcoming, yet possesses a cultural life that holds its own against other European capitals. Most buildings are built simple and low to beat the North Atlantic winds. However, the city is also graced with grand civic architecture inspired by Iceland’s natural beauty, such as the soaring central tower of Hallgrímskirkja. Many of the country’s most popular sights are within easy reach of Reykjavík. Immerse yourself in the spirit of Iceland, at the Blue Lagoon. Then spend a day or two in The Golden Circle, an area which encompasses three of Iceland’s greatest natural wonders;...

Jo em quedo les pelis d'en Kurosawa i tu els discos d'en Lou Reed,
tu la màquina del cafè perfecte i jo aquell wok tan ben parit,
tu aquell jardinet de sobretaula que vas voler comprar a Pequin,
que dius que sí, que a tu et relaxa, però només fot que merda al pis...
I aquell plat del sud de França d'aquells firaires magrebins,
que et dic que sí, que em va de perles, perquè m'aguanta bé els Tintins,
i que tinguis sort a Reykjavík,
i que em borris del mòbil aviat,
i que els dies no se't facin llargs,
i no surtis mai sense un abric...
Ara potser et sembla que el món s'acaba i que ho haguem de cremar tot,
però tant tu com jo en trobarem un altre i tot es posarà al seu lloc.
Durant aquest temps sense parella follarem pels descosits.
Que et dic que sí, que sempre passa, ens seguirem trobant al llit,
i tindrem temps per dedicar-nos, cadascú pel seu costat,
que et dic que sí, que farem coses a les que havíem renunciat,
i tornar a conèixer als meus amics,
i anar-me'n a les tantes al llit,
i no mirar pelis d'en Hugh Grant,
no val a pensar per endavant...
i que tinguis sort a Reykjavík,
i que en trobis un de ben plantat,
i que el gel que ho glaça tot de nit
