Current Time in Reykjavik

About Reykjavik Time Zone

Reykjavik is the capital and largest city of Iceland, home to approximately 135,000 city residents — making it the northernmost capital city of a sovereign state in the world. It operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0), permanently, without any Daylight Saving Time — despite Iceland's extreme seasonal variation in daylight (nearly 24 hours of daylight in summer, and only 4-5 hours in winter). Iceland is the world's most geologically active country — volcanic eruptions, geysers, and hot springs dot the landscape. Nearly 100% of Iceland's electricity comes from renewable energy (geothermal and hydropower). Reykjavik is home to the world's oldest parliament still in operation — the Althing, established in 930 AD. Iceland consistently ranks among the world's most peaceful, gender-equal, and literate societies. The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are regularly visible from Reykjavik in winter.
