Hey there, we are visiting Reykjavík over Christmas. We are only there 4 nights and wondered if we can get some suggestions of where to book in for Christmas lunch and also what to see and do at that time of year seeing as the days are very short. We are interested in a food tour and seeing the Northern Lights just to name a couple of things. We can’t wait to explore! Thanks in advance, Danielle

Definitely do a northern lights tour and Golden circle tour. We had those days and did the southern island tour. You can do a regular tour and the northern lights at night.
We want to visit in November... what are our chances of seeing the Northern Lights?

December would probably be better as the sun goes down earlier. There is also a museum just past the harbor that does a good job of explaing the science behind the Northern Lights. They have virtual reality glasses that you can use. Cost was about $ 15 USD. One of the guides on one of the tours that we went on described see the northern lights as chasing rainbows sometimes you see them and sometimes you don't!
Hi I wondered if you could tell me how much it costs to get into the museum? Thanks Helen

What are the chances of seeing the northern lights in November? Is this one of the best times ? If not when would you recommend? Thankyou

Hi Summerscales123, thanks for writing. November is a great time to view the lights, as you are well within the auroral season (mid August-mid April), and there are plenty of dark hours. The probability of seeing auroral activity is definitely high in November, but is of course affected by many different factors, like cloud cover that evening, and general solar activity levels. The experience can also be affected by where you happen to be watching from, as proximity to city light or a fuller moon phase can affect how your eyes process the light. That being said, I would definitely recommend November, but I would also keep in mind that at any time of year, the many factors required for auroral visibility must all be cooperating for a successful aurora hunt. Good luck!
