Safety in Reykjavik

Till now Safety in Reykjavik is considered high. It has a friendly police force and an alert population. Recently, however, there has been an increase in immigration to the country, so there have been more fights in nightclubs and on the streets, and more thefts of money and valuables from tourists.

But if you follow basic rules of behavior, do not behave provocatively, in most cases such troubles can be avoided.

The dangerous areas of Reykjavik are outside the city. And they are related not so much to the human factor, but to the peculiarities of the local nature. Around the city there are many geysers and mud pits, which visitors can simply not notice. That's why you should only travel outside the city with a local guide.
