What do I need to know before moving to Reykjavik?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Reykjavik, they said...

"Before moving to Reykjavik it is important to research the cost of living, including rent and living expenses. It is also beneficial to be aware of the culture and customs of Iceland, as well as the language (although the majority of the population speaks English). Additionally, the atmosphere in Reykjavik can be quite different due to the cold and dark winters, so researching the climate is important. It can also be helpful to research job opportunities in Reykjavik and the variety of activities and attractions in the area. Lastly, it is also beneficial to acquire some basic knowledge of the Icelandic banking system, healthcare system, and currency," said another expat in Reykjavik, Iceland.
