Iceland does not have the
restrictions on fireworks that other
countries have, so the whole
population of the Reykjavík Capital
Area (200,000) makes its own massive
fireworks show all over the city by
blasting off fireworks from their
garden or some vantage point.
Icelandic New Year's Eve is
considered one of the world's most
spectacular celebrations with
colorful firework and a magical
atmosphere. The arrival of the new
year is a particular cause for
celebration to the people of
Reykjavík. Icelandic law states that
anyone may purchase and use
fireworks during a certain period
around New Year's Eve. As a result,
every New Year's Eve the city is lit
up with fireworks displays.
Reykjavík is the capital and largest
city in Iceland. Reykjavík is
located in southwest Iceland. The
Reykjavík area coastline is
characterized by peninsulas, coves,
straits, and islands. Reykjavík is
often dubbed "the nightlife capital
of the north". It is famous for its
nightlife during the weekends.
Icelanders tend to go out late so
bars that look rather quiet can fill
up suddenly, usually after midnight
on a weekend. There are over 100
different bars and clubs in
Reykjavík; most of them are located
on Laugavegur and its side streets.
It is very common for an
establishment that is a café before
dinner to turn into a bar in the
evening. Closing time is usually
around 4:30 am at weekends and 1 am
during the week. The Iceland
Airwaves music festival is annually
staged in October.
