Reykjavík has an active cultural life through most of the year, and is especially strong in the visual arts. The classical performing-arts scene tends to quiet down somewhat in summer; however, a growing number of rock and jazz concerts has been helping to fill in the lull. The Reykjavík Arts Festival is an annual event held in late spring. Past festivals have drawn Luciano Pavarotti and David Bowie, among other stars. Check out the Reykjavík Grapevine (biweekly in summer, monthly in winter) for up-to-date listings. www.grapevine.is More »
