The Westman Islands lie just off the south west coast of the Icelandic mainland, and most visitors head for the largest island, Heimaey.

Arriving in Reykjavik
Capital of Iceland and gateway to this extraordinary volcanic island, modern Reykjavik is home to an impressive collection of interesting attractions and places of historic significance.
