Stretching across three islands at the mouth of the magnificent Geirangerfjord, Alesunds architecture is now an eclectic mixture of mock-Gothic and neo-classical with more than a dash of Art Nouveau.

Its reputation now as a truly cultural, cosmopolitan city, with great restaurants and lively nightlife, has made it a hugely popular destination. Another big attraction is the opportunity to swim in open-air pools heated by the very geothermal springs that inspired Reykjavik's name. Not that Reykjavik - or most of Iceland for that matter - is actually icy at all. It may be the most nor... ### Day 12: Reykjavik **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM The name means 'Smoky (or Steamy) Bay' but these days the Icelandic capital Reykjavik is even hotter than that.
