Reykjavík
Reykjavík is the capital of Iceland and it has a population of about 120,000. The University of Iceland campus is within a walking distance of downtown Reykjavík. Please consult Google maps for the distance between campus and your hotel.
Due to a rapid rise in tourism in recent years, we strongly recommend that you make your travel arrangements as early as you are able to do so. The availability of flights and hotel rooms is likely to be limited and expensive for those who make their travel plans late. Booking should not be problem if it is done well ahead of the date of the conference.
