Reykjavík (/ˈreɪkjəvɪk, -viːk/ RAYK-yə-vik, -veek;[4] Icelandic: [ˈreiːcaˌviːk]) is the capital and largest city of Iceland. It is located in southwestern Iceland, on the southern shore of Faxaflói bay. Its latitude is 64°08' N, making it the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign state.
Reykjavík is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which, according to Landnámabók (Book of Settlements), was established by Ingólfr Arnarson in 874 CE. Until the 18th century, there was no urban development in the city location. The city was officially founded in 1786 as a trading town and grew steadily over the following decades, as it transformed into a regional and later national centre of commerce, population, and governmental activities.
Reykjavík is the centre of Iceland's cultural, economic, and governmental activity, and is a popular tourist destination among foreigners. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world.
