The annual New Years Eve celebration in Iceland is truly a remarkable event, and the events of NYE 2011 to welcome 2012 promise to be no different. On this unique night, the colourful firework light up the sky and the atmosphere becomes magical. Icelanders truly know how to celebrate with style, and this makes it a special place to be celebrating New Years Eve.
Iceland does not have the restrictions on fireworks that other countries have, so the whole population of the Reykjavík Capital Area (200,000) makes its own massive fireworks show all over the city by blasting off fireworks from their garden or some vantage point. Icelandic New Year's Eve is considered one of the world's most spectacular celebrations with colorful firework and a magical atmosphere. The arrival of the new year is a particular cause for celebration to the people of Reykjavík. Icelandic law states that anyone may purchase and use fireworks during a certain period around New Year's Eve. As a result, every New Year's Eve the city is lit up with fireworks displays.
Reykjavík is the capital and largest city in Iceland. Reykjavík is located in southwest Iceland. The Reykjavík area coastline is characterized by peninsulas, coves, straits, and islands. Reykjavík is often dubbed "the nightlife capital of the north". It is famous for its nightlife during the weekends. Icelanders tend to go out late so bars that look rather quiet can fill up suddenly, usually after midnight on a weekend. There are over 100 different bars and clubs in Reykjavík; most of them are located on Laugavegur and its side streets. It is very common for an establishment that is a café before dinner to turn into a bar in the evening. Closing time is usually around 4:30 am at weekends and 1 am during the week. The Iceland Airwaves music festival is annually staged in October.
