Off next Friday for a long weekend on a stag do, and just wondered the following;

1) What is there to do (assuming one doesn't want to drink all day/night)
2) What do people wear on an evening ? I would normally opt for jeans, shirt & shoes over here but is this apt there ?

Thats about it really, although any other relevant info would be appreciated.

Your clothing choice is fine.

I'd go for a tour or two, there will be loads of guides and leaflets in your hotel. The "Golden Triangle" tour is a good one. You can probably visit the Blue Lagoon on your way back to Keflavik depending on your flight time, the coaches (which you can arrange to pick you up from your hotel) cater for that. Lots of good bars and restaurants on Laugavegur (the main strip), also good places to get a decent fry-up or breakfast in the morning. Nice view from the top of Hallgrimskirkja (the church).

Friday and Saturday nights are pretty mental. The rest of the time it's a bit dead. Sirkus was a good night out. Great place Reykjavik, been a couple of times. If you go to a decent restaurant try the local lamb.

Went to Reykjavik a few years ago & had a great time.

The locals don't come out until late.

The ladies were gorgeous & vastly out-numbered men.

It was very expensive when I was there.

Surely you can just get loaded on their booze and then when they give you the bill, tell them to knock it off what they owe us?
