Introduction
Reykjavík's Old Harbour is the city's liveliest coast, where colourful fishing boats and whale-watching yachts berth. From here you set out to spot whales, puffins and the Northern Lights; ashore, a former fish factory houses museums and seafood restaurants echoing the Harpa concert hall across the water. It is the perfect starting point for Iceland's maritime culture and that day's fresh catch.
