💞Reykjavík turns pink for Pink Day!
On October 21, Reykjavík joins the nationwide celebration of Pink Day, standing together in solidarity with everyone affected by cancer.
Throughout October, iconic landmarks such as Hallgrímskirkja, Harpa, Perlan and the University of Iceland glow in shades of pink, shining a light on breast cancer awareness and the importance of supporting one another.
We light up our city and honour those who face cancer.
Because pink is more than just a colour. It’s a symbol of hope, strength and togetherness. 💗

On UNESCO’s Day of Intangible Cultural Heritage, we’re celebrating Iceland’s swimming pool culture, a cherished part of everyday life and a living tradition.
More than places to swim, Iceland’s pools are social hubs where people of all ages come together to relax and connect in the geothermal waters. They’re an essential part of what makes life in Iceland unique.

Another tradition to discover today is Iceland’s historic dance culture. At the Þjóðminjasafn Íslands / National Museum of Iceland National Museum of Iceland today October 17th, everyone is welcome to join an interactive lecture exploring historic dances, music and movement, as well as learn the dances and partake. The earliest mentions of dances are found in manuscripts including the Icelandic Sagas.

From our swimming pools to traditional dances, intangible cultural heritage lives on through the customs, knowledge and experiences we share and pass on to future generations.

Rain in Reykjavík? Quite a few things to do, actually. ☔

Wander through a museum, get lost in Icelandic music, watch real lava flow or browse the shops at Kringlan and Smáralind.

Fancy seeing the northern lights? You can even do that indoors.

Sometimes the weather has other plans. That’s alright. Take your time, follow your curiosity and see where the day takes you.

💙 Save this for a rainy day in Reykjavík.
