Reykjavik Capital area

Welcome to the world’s northernmost capital! Reykjavík is the most gender equal, literate country in the world, with the most authors, musicians and most Nobel Prize winners, all of whom consume the third highest amount of coffee, on the globe… per capita.

 

Iceland’s small population means that it’s the best at many things per capita. So this also makes Reykjavík the per capita capital of the world, seeing as about 200,000 of Iceland’s 330,000 inhabitants hang their hats in the greater Reykjavík area.

 

Yes, Iceland takes their per capita records seriously, and you’re likely to hear a few more boastful facts during your time in the country. Like that Icelanders drink the most Coca Cola per capita, or that the country stakes claim on the world’s most beautiful women and the strongest men per capita.

 

Collect as much trivia as you can while you take in the capital area and beyond and you’ll be going home with a lot more than pictures!
