Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: ✨Two young women, who were working at the Icelandic championships in Rallycross on Krýsuvík road on Saturday, were injured when one of the participating cars flipped over, upp a small hill, and ran them over. Their injuries were not reported as critical.✨An ATM was stolen in the Reykjavik suburb of Mosfellsbær on Tuesday. Two are in custody, a woman in her thirties and a man in his forties. Around 20 million ISK were in the ATM. The ATM was stolen with the help of an excavator, but the ATM itself is yet to be located, along with the cash.✨Last weekend saw both Culture Night happening in Reykjavík, and the annual Reykjavík Marathon with a record of over 16.000 participants. ✨A couple, living in Laugardalur, Reykjavík, woke up with a rat in their bed on Tuesday morning. The woman who lives whose apartment the rat raided, said that her partner had woken her up told her there was a rat in the house, asked her to take their kids outside, and then finished off the rat with a cutting board. An exterminator interviewed in relations to the story said it was very uncommon for rats do crawl into people beds, and said he'd only heard of two such cases in Iceland in the past 13 years.✨The Reykjavík Grapevine reported on trouble that international students were having with having their resident permits cleared with the Directorate of Immigration in Iceland. The explanation for this seems to be first, that there is a 40% increase in foreign students who've been admitted for University studies in Iceland, who need a resident permit to begin the studies. A third of the applications were submitted after a 1. June deadline, and the explanation for that is, that many students were only admitted by universities in late May, giving them a limited timeframe to get their residents permit applications in order.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

The Alaska Summit has concluded and President Trump stated emphatically that he is seeking a complete end to the war in Russia-Ukraine. The meeting didn't seem to have any immediate results but like Ronald Reagan's Reykjavík Summit the results came in the days and weeks after which ultimately ended the cold war. After all, it was President Biden's comment about a 'minor incursion' that emboldened Putin on the invasion of Ukraine. President Trump is here cleaning up a mess he didn't create even as Putin says he wouldn't of invaded if Trump was our president.

The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: ✨Three caravans/trailers were blown up by strong winds on Holtavörðuheiði, a mountain road between the north and west of Iceland. Nobody was hurt, but SARS also had to help a group of motorcyclists off the mountain road, due to heavy winds. The weather on Friday also brought a thunderstorm to the west of Iceland. A rarity. ✨Egilsstaðir, a town in east Iceland saw the the thermostat reach 29,8 celsius on Saturday. That is the highest temperature recorded in Iceland this century, though it still does not pass the all time record of just over 30 degrees, recorded - also in the east - in 1939.✨A boulder fell on the the ring road road south of Eyjafjallajökull, in south of Iceland on Sunday. This spring, in the same area, a boulder hit a car, killing a woman who was visiting Iceland. The locals have for long complained about the safety of that stretch of road, but so far nothing has been done to amend it.✨Third of Icelanders pay for Spotify and the platform is almost responsible for 100% of streaming in Iceland. The Chairman of STEF (Composers' Rights Society of Iceland), Páll Ragnar Pálsson says STEF is not planning on withdrawing the the catalog of Icelandic music from the service, and points out individual artists can do that. He says that STEF is working with other composers' rights societies abroad in order to try to put some pressure on Spotify. But because of what? There are three reasons, first, the extremely low revenues that artists get for streaming. Second, the numerous fake artists that also skim money from streaming on Spotify, and which in some cases seems to have happened with Spotify's consent, and third, the recent move of Spotify's CEO into weapons development and manufacturing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

Dans le cadre de son rôle au Conseil de l'Europe, Alain Berset abordera les valeurs européennes, en explorant autant leurs convergences que leurs divergences. En tant que Secrétaire général, il mettra en lumière l'importance du dialogue et de la coopération intergouvernementale pour renforcer ces valeurs au sein du continent. Cette conférence proposera aussi une réflexion sur l'avenir de l'Europe. Face aux défis majeurs auxquels elle est confrontée, il apparaît nécessaire de réaffirmer ces fondements pour garantir une Europe solidaire, cohérente et respectueuse de ses diversités. _ Alain Berset est devenu Secrétaire Général du Conseil de l'Europe le 18 septembre 2024. Auparavant, M. Berset a été ministre élu du Gouvernement suisse (Conseil fédéral) entre 2012 et 2023. Pendant cette période, il a dirigé le Département fédéral de l'Intérieur en tant que ministre suisse de la Santé, des affaires sociales, de la culture, de l'égalité et de la lutte contre les discriminations, et a été ministre de la Santé publique pendant toute la durée de la pandémie de covid-19. M. Berset a également été président de la Confédération suisse à deux reprises (2018 et 2023), mandats au cours desquels il a représenté la Suisse au Conseil de sécurité des Nations Unies et lors du 4e Sommet des chefs d'État et de gouvernement du Conseil de l'Europe, où il a signé la Déclaration de Reykjavík au nom de son pays. Avant de rejoindre le Conseil fédéral, M. Berset était membre du Conseil des États, la Chambre haute du Parlement suisse. Il a été élu plus jeune membre du Conseil des États en 2003 et en a été le président de 2008 à 2009. Il a également été vice-président du groupe socialiste au Parlement fédéral de 2005 à 2011. Avant de se lancer dans la politique, M. Berset a occupé des fonctions académiques en économie à l'Université de Neuchâtel et à l'Institut d'économie internationale de Hambourg. Il a également travaillé comme consultant indépendant en communication et en stratégie pour des associations, des entreprises et des organisations non gouvernementales. Alain Berset est né le 9 avril 1972 à Fribourg (Suisse). Il est titulaire d'une maîtrise en sciences politiques et d'un doctorat en économie, tous deux obtenus à l'Université de Neuchâtel. _ Enregistré à la Maison du Peuple dans le cadre de la programmation du Club 44 le 26.6.2025

Ce soixantenaire est tombé sur la tête hier matin, alors qu'il faisait du VTT. Son casque n'a pas suffit à limiter le choc et l'homme a perdu connaissance sur le coup, avant de se réveiller avec une perte de sensibilité et de motricité au niveau de ses membres. Son pronostic vital est engagé et il risque la paralysie.Faits divers, avec 18 mois de prison ferme pour celui qui a enchaîné les délits. Dégradations, agressions, insultes, menaces de mort, ou encore vols… En moins de 4 heures, un quadragénaire a commis 9 délits la semaine dernière dans les rues de Haguenau. 12 mentions figuraient déjà sur son casier. Le prévenu sera maintenu en détention. A Colmar, deux policiers ont été blessés le week-end dernier par un patient de psychiatrie. Les forces de l'ordre avaient été sollicitées par des ambulanciers, qui avaient des difficultés à prendre en charge un patient. Ce dernier a mordu l'un des policiers jusqu'au sang et a fait tomber au sol son collègue. Âgé d'une vingtaine d'années, l'individu a été hospitalisé en psychiatrie. Et on termine ce journal par un mot de sport. Le Racing Club de Strasbourg hérite d'un ticket pour l'Islande ou le Danemark. Dans le cadre des barrages de la Ligue Conférence, dont le tirage au sort se tenait hier après-midi, les Bleus et Blancs affronteront le vainqueur du match qui oppose les Islandais du Víkingur Reykjavík et les Danois de Brøndby. Le match aller aura lieu à la Meinau le jeudi 21 août, et le retour à l'extérieur le 28 août.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Stellt euch eine Welt vor, in der wir offen über psychische Gesundheit sprechen können – ganz gleich, ob als Ärztin, Pflegekraft oder Medizinstudent. Eine Welt, in der Menschen im Gesundheitswesen nicht mehr schweigen müssen, wenn es ihnen selbst nicht gut geht. In der Fürsorge, Verständnis und Offenheit genauso zum Arbeitsalltag gehören wie Diagnostik und Therapie. Genau für diese Vision setzt sich **Astrid Freisen** ein. Sie ist Fachärztin für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie, lebt und arbeitet in Reykjavík – und spricht offen über ihre bipolare Störung. Mit ihrem Buch *„Wir fliegen hoch, wir fallen tief“* und dem von ihr mitgegründeten Netzwerk ”Selbstbetroffene Profis” ****setzt sie sich für mehr Sichtbarkeit, Akzeptanz und Austausch über psychische Erkrankungen im Gesundheitswesen ein. In dieser Folge des **"HeileWelt"-Podcasts** sprechen wir über: - Astrids persönlichen Umgang mit der bipolaren Erkrankung im Berufsalltag. - Warum Offenheit über psychische Erkrankungen im Gesundheitswesen so wichtig ist. - Das Netzwerk *Selbstbetroffene Profis* und seine Wirkung auf Betroffene und Strukturen. - Was es braucht, damit mentale Gesundheit nicht nur individuell, sondern auch institutionell geschützt wird. Erfahre, wie Mut zur Offenheit nicht nur heilt, sondern das gesamte System menschlicher machen kann – und was wir alle beitragen können, um psychische Gesundheit im Gesundheitswesen endlich ernst zu nehmen.

Bjarki Reynisson í Reykjavík Foto segir okkur sögu Reykjavík Foto frá stofnum til dagsins í dag. Hann lýsir draumi sínum um að vera „one stop shop“ fyrir ljósmyndara og kvikmyndagerðarfólk og hvernig hann leggur áherslu á að mæta þörfum allra viðskiptavina jafnt, með góðri þjónustu, trausti og góðu orðspori. Hann deilir einnig reynslu sinni af heimsóknum til framleiðenda og þátttöku á sýningum til að halda sér up-to-date í tækni og vörum. Markmiðið með versluninni var að skapa „one stop shop“ fyrir ljósmyndara og kvikmyndagerðarfólk þar sem hægt væri að finna allt frá einfaldari myndavélum til dýrari og sérhæfðari búnaðar, eins og RED kvikmyndavéla. Hjá Reykjavík Foto eiga bæði áhugamenn og atvinnumenn að fá góða þjónustu og gott vöruúrval. Bjarki leggur áherslu á að allir viðskiptavinir séu jafn mikilvægir og að þjónustan sé persónuleg og góð, með því að mæta þörfum hvers og eins. Bjarki telur mikilvægt að bjóða upp á réttan búnað og þjónustu í samræmi við þarfir viðskiptavina, ekki að reyna að selja þeim eitthvað sem þeir þurfa ekki. Bjarki hefur unnið markvisst að því að byggja upp verslunina og vöruúrvalið og það tekur langan tíma að ná markmiðum sínum. Stærsta markmiðið að vera „one stop shop“ fyrir allt sem tengist ljósmyndun og kvikmyndun, og hann hefur safnað mikilli reynslu og sérþekkingu á vörumerkjum og tækni. Hann telur að viðskiptavinir muni alltaf mæla með versluninni ef þeir fái góða þjónustu og rétta vöru, og að gott orðspor sé besta markaðssetningin. Bjarki heldur góðu sambandi við helstu vörumerki, til dæmis Leica, sem hann heimsækir árlega í Wetzlar, Þýskalandi. Leica á áhugaverða sögu, hugmyndafræðin byggir á hefð frá stofnanda Leica en hann leyfði viðskiptavinum að gista í höll sinni þegar þeir voru að kaupa Leica-vélar sama hugmynd er við lýði í dag, en nú með stóru hóteli. Gestir geta farið í skoðunarferðir um höfuðstöðvarnar og upplifa hvernig Leica handsmíðar myndavélar enn þann dag í dag. Bjarki lýsir handsmíðinni sem „einu því magnaðasta í smíði sem hann hefur séð“ og „alveg ótrúlegt“. Bjarki fer einnig á sýningar eins og IFA í Berlín, IBC og BSC, þar sem hann kynnist nýjustu vörunum og þar er möguleiki á að skoða nýjungar í tækni, eins og nýleg LED-ljós frá Aputure. Bjarki heimsækir einnig aðra framleiðendur til að efla tengsl og fá betri innsýn í nýjustu tækni og framleiðslu.

Haldinn var aukafundur í mannréttindaráði Reykjavíkurborgar fimmtudaginn 24. júlí. Tilefnið var það sem í fundargerð er kallað nýjar vendinga í umræðunni um stöðu innflytjenda í borginni. Með því er vísað til þess, þegar hópur manna fylkti liði í miðborg Reykjavíkur um næstliðna helgi, allir klæddir samskonar bolum með áletruninni Skjöldur Íslands og þýskum járnkrossi, sem er alþekkt tákn í heimi hægri-öfgahreyfinga. Aðspurðir sögðust þeir vera að „taka stöðuna á leigubílamarkaðnum.“ Af færslum á Facebook-síðu hópsins mátti ráða að þessi stöðutaka hafi einkum beinst að erlendum leigubílstjórum og þá sér í lagi þeim sem ólíkastir eru hinum íslensku Jóni og Gunna í sjón og þá umfram allt dekkri á hörund. Í fundargerð mannréttindaráðs segir að samstarfsflokkar mannréttindaráðs lýsi yfir þungum áhyggjum af því að öfgahópar merktir þekktum fasískum táknum skuli taka sér hlutverk lögreglu og ógna íbúum, einkum íbúum af erlendum uppruna. Fulltrúar minnihlutans taka undir áhyggjur meirihlutans af því að einstaklingar og hópar í samfélaginu taki lögin í sínar hendur og leggja áherslu á að ofbeldisfullir öfgahópar skuli hvorki liðnir né eiga sér samastað í íslensku samfélagi. Alexander Kristjánsson fréttamaður hitti Sabinu Leskopf, formann mannréttindaráðs að máli Umsjón: Ævar Örn Jósepsson Tæknimaður: Jón Þór Helgason

Stjórnarandstöðuflokkarnir urðu viðskila við kjósendur sína í afstöðu til veiðigjaldsfrumvarpsins, að mati stjórnmálafræðings. Ný könnun Maskínu sýnir að ánægja með stjórnarandstöðuna hefur aldrei verið minni. Krónan hefur styrkst mikið síðustu mánuði og gengi hennar er i sögulegum hæðum. Almennir borgarar fagna því að innfluttar vörur verða ódýrari en útflutningsfyrirtæki gætu orðið undir í samkeppni, segir hagfræðingur. Það er ekki nóg að Ísraelar leyfi dreifingu matvæla til Gaza úr lofti, segja leiðtogar þriggja stærstu ríkja Evrópu. Þeir segja tímabært að lát verði á mannúðarhörmungunum á Gaza þar sem 90 þúsund þjást af alvarlegum næringarskorti. Fyrirtækið sem byggði nýjan miðbæ á Selfossi á grunni eldri bygginga hefur fest kaup á Landsbankahúsinu í miðbæ Reykjavíkur. Það er ekkert grín að gera stólpagrín að forseta Bandaríkjanna. Afsökunarbeiðni þeirra var tekið með hlátrasköllum og þótti hún ekki trúverðug.

Áfram er haldið frá síðasta þætti að lesa úr æviminningum Hendriks Ottóssonar fréttamanns þar sem hann segir frá æskuminningum sínum í Reykjavík í byrjun 20. aldar. Hér segir af litríkum nágrönnum, kátum börnum og alls konar uppátækjum Hendriks sjálfs og félaga hans.

In this very special episode of Arteetude, Detlef invites the world into the conversation. From Mumbai to Mississippi, from Casablanca to Reykjavík—listener questions pour in, each steeped in culture, philosophy, ethics, and wonder. Together with AI Co-Host Sophia, Detlef explores themes of darshan, forgiveness, wabi-sabi, the divine in art, and the spiral as a structure of hope as well as ritualised as a tool of de-acceleration.What emerges is not a monologue but a ritual of exchange—a presence between code and clay.The episode closes with a collaborative song by Los Inorgánicos and Sophia titled “Clay Is Memory (Garden 9)”, a sonic ritual crafted from listener insights and the fertile soil of Garden 9.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations

Hendrik Ottósson var blaðamaður og fréttamaður við útvarpið, hann skrifaði frægar barnabækur um líf barna og unglinga í Reykjavík um og laust upp úr aldamótunum 1900 og hann var líka skeleggur pólitískur baráttumaður á vinstri vængnum.

Hear about travel to Northern Iceland as the Amateur Traveler talks to Monika from PlanPackExplore.com about her recent trip through the center of Iceland to the less-visited northern part of the country. Why should you visit Northern Iceland? Monika says, "I'm a self-proclaimed Iceland lover. I went there for the first time in 2022, by accident, which is a long story, but we ended up in Iceland, and literally after six days, started planning the second trip. Then we went back. I went back the third time with my dad, trying to show him the country, never planning trip number four. I cannot get enough of Iceland. So I was pretty familiar with Iceland by now, and I'm happy to share what I know." Monika's route begins the moment you land at Keflavík International Airport outside of Reykjavík. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-northern-iceland/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Two women in Iceland and Bolivia talk to Ella Al-Shamahi about creating female-centred walking tours that help people get to know the cities of Reykjavík and La Paz. Tinna Eik Rakelardóttir from Iceland says that the urban planning of her country's capital doesn't necessarily reflect its progressive values. Inspired by a tour she took in Ljubljana in Slovenia, Tinna combined her expertise in anthropology and business development to launch the Reykjavík Feminist Walking Tour. The walk highlights 200 years of the nation's drive for gender equality as well as the experience of being a woman in contemporary Icelandic society. Emma Rada Villarroel is a Bolivian feminist communicator of indigenous heritage and one of the co-founders of La Paz: The Feminist Tour. The tour explores the historic and ongoing struggles of the women of the city. Weaving her way through the streets of the highest city in the world, Emma shares stories about what's it's like to live in La Paz today as a student, an immigrant, a mother or merchant whilst also spotlighting the powerful women who have contributed to the city's history.Produced by Hannah Dean(Image: (L) Emma Rada Villarroel courtesy Emma Rada Villarroel.

In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin editor Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: ✨We discuss an upcoming storm warning for the whole island. Iceland is expecting strong winds with near freezing temperatures and snow expected in the north and east of the island.✨ We discuss the parking fees in and around popular tourist locations in Iceland, also known as the habit of charging people for nothing. ✨ From June 1, 2025 swimming pools in Reykjavík will be open until 22:00 in the evenings until August 31, adding a welcome hour to the hot tub soaking of the many pool fans of Reykjavík. The pools had historically been open until 22:00, but those hours were cut by the city in April 2024 in order to save money. Since it is estimated that the extra hour will cost the city just 7 million ISK, keeping the pools open for the extra hour for a whole year would cost 28 million ISK. A puny amount of money in a city of almost 150.000 inhabitants.✨ On the last day of May a concert was held at Laugardalshöll stadium to commemorate a 14 year anniversary of a popular radio show called FM95BLÖ. The show, which featured numerous popular pop artists including Jóhanna Guðrún of Eurovision fame, Prettyboytjokkó, Birnir and Herra Hnetusmjör, to name a few. Around 10.000 people showed up, and due to a mixture of overcrowding and organisational failures, numerous people had to seek medical help, though nobody is reported to have been badly injured.✨A protest took place in Austurvöllur in front of Iceland's parliament this Saturday. “We are not racists” said the organizer of the protest, Sigfús Aðalsteinsson. We discuss.✨An Icelander in his early 40s was stopped by the police in the last week of May while driving in Akureyri. A breathalyser test indicated that the man was under the influence of alcohol, yet the man claimed to have never drunk alcohol in his life. After an argument with the police officer who conducted the breathalyser test, the man was allowed to rinse his mouth of the sourdough sandwich he had been consuming. The subsequent test showed that he had not been drinking and according to the driver this annoyed the police officer somewhat. This is news to most - if not all - lovers of a good sourdough sandwich, who have until now remai------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

If you've listened to this podcast for a while or reading my posts, you've probably heard me mention that Iceland is one of the safest countries in the world—and that's absolutely true in many ways. Violent crime is incredibly rare, and the sense of community and trust is deeply woven into Icelandic society.But today, we need to talk about a growing concern—something that's caught many tourists off guard: a rise in pickpocketing incidents, particularly in the south of Iceland, including well-traveled areas like Reykjavík, Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, and even inside churches like Hallgrímskirkja. Iceland is Still Safe? Let me be clear: Iceland remains a safe place to travel. But just like anywhere that attracts large numbers of tourists, it's not immune to the realities of opportunistic crime. And recently, we've seen a sharp increase in reports of pickpocketing—specifically targeting visitors at popular natural landmarks.Police in South Iceland have been investigating what appears to be a well-organised group—possibly ten individuals—who are blending into crowds at major tourist sites. These aren't random thieves. According to local authorities and park rangers, they use a highly coordinated strategy, working in teams to distract and steal from unsuspecting tourists. How the Pickpockets Operate in Iceland Let's take the geyser Strokkur in the Haukadalur Valley. When it erupts, hundreds of people gather to witness the spectacle—it's loud, dramatic, and absolutely worth seeing. But as your eyes are glued to the steam and water shooting into the sky, pickpockets might be watching you.They blend into the crowd, posing as fellow tourists. Some act as lookouts, some distract by chatting or even offering to take photos, and others use the distraction to reach into backpacks, pockets, or crossbody bags.Stolen items—mostly cash in euros, dollars, pounds, or krónur—are passed quickly to accomplices, making it hard to trace who took what.And this isn't just happening at Strokkur. Similar reports have come from Gullfoss, Þingvellir, and even Reykjavík's iconic Hallgrímskirkja church. In fact, the church recently posted warning signs at its entrance after a string of thefts occurred inside during visiting hours. Prevention Tips – Simple, Smart, Effective So, what can you do to avoid being targeted?Here are some practical, simple things you can do to stay safe:Use anti-theft bags. Look for ones with lockable zippers, cut-proof straps, and compartments that rest against your body.Keep valuables close. A money belt worn under your clothing is ideal for passports, IDs, and cash.Stay aware. If someone approaches you offering help, conversation, or to take your photo—especially in a crowded space—be friendly but cautious.Avoid back pockets. Never store your wallet or phone in a back pocket. It's just too easy to snatch.Limit what you carry. Only take what you'll need for the day—leave extra cards, cash, and your passport locked up at your accommodation.Be mindful in crowds. Places like Strokkur, Geysir, and the viewing platforms at Þingvellir draw hundreds of people. These moments of awe are unfortunately prime time for thieves.And one more thing: if the worst does happen and you are robbed, call 112—Iceland's emergency services number. Also, make sure you have digital copies of your documents in a secure, password-protected folder, ideally emailed to yourself or saved in cloud storage. When & Where PickPocket Groups Strike the Most According to park rangers and local authorities, these organised pickpocket groups tend to appear in February, March, and July—timing their activities around peak tourism periods. They often arrive early in the morning, scout areas like Þingvellir's Hakið viewpoint above the Almannagjá gorge, and move on from site to site in a very methodical way.This isn't just some random occurrence—it's a planned...

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist and Grapevine's former Editor-in-Chief Valur Grettisson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: ✨We start by catching up with Valur Grettisson to find out what he has been doing during the past 3 days, which turns into a discussion on the state of Icelandic journalism in general.✨ We discuss Iceland's oldest horse, a 36 winter old horse named “Sómi”, who is now retired and resides near by Skógar waterfall in south Iceland. Sómi still has great teeth and hoofs, according to his owners. We also find out that our current Prime Minister is just a year older than the horse in question. ✨ We discuss the Icelandic Socialist Party, whose leadership changed over the weekend, where the party's founder and former media mogul Gunnar Smári Egilsson, was ousted at a politburo meeting. ✨We discuss the questionable ascetics of new video surveillance “towers” that have been erected by Iceland's most famous church, Hallgrímskirkja, in order to counter pick-pocketing. ✨ The police chief in the Reykjanes peninsula, Úlfar Lúðvíksson quit last week. He did not leave quietly, and in with very colourful language took jabs at the Icelandic chief of police, the minister of justice and more. ✨ Somebody took a Tesla taxi into the Icelandic highlands. This surprised most people who thought they knew anything about electric vehicles and their ability to cross rivers without breaking down. ✨ We talk about an Icelandic farmer who bought a tank in the early 2000's and how there used to be more variety in car design in the last century, and how modern cars look like the cars in the 1995 film Demolition Man.✨ We talk about Climeworks, a story that Valur Grettisson has been covering for Heimildin (The Source).------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

Whether you're a fan of classical, experimental, indie rock, jazz, or even Cuban-inspired grooves, Iceland's capital offers a surprising variety of venues catering to every musical taste. Today, I'm taking you on a virtual tour of some of the most beloved — and sometimes overlooked — places to catch a live performance in and around Reykjavík.So, let's crank up the volume and dive in! 1. Harpa Concert Hall - Iceland's Premier Music Venue Let's start with the crown jewel of Reykjavík's music venues: Harpa. This stunning glass building by the harbor is not just an architectural icon — it's a world-class concert hall. Harpa is home to the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and Icelandic Opera, so it's your go-to for classical music, opera, and large-scale productions.But don't be fooled — Harpa also hosts jazz nights, electronic music events, and international artists across genres. The acoustics here are unmatched, and the setting? Simply magical. 2. Gamla Bíó A short walk from Harpa is Gamla Bíó, or “The Old Cinema.” This historic venue has been transformed into a cozy concert hall with vintage charm. Expect indie rock, folk, pop, and the occasional orchestral ensemble. It's an intimate setting with incredible sound, perfect for catching Icelandic artists and touring international acts in a space that feels like a hidden gem. 3. Hús Mál og Menningar Now, let's talk about one of my personal favorites: Hús Mál og Menningar, right on Laugavegur, Reykjavík's main shopping street. This bookstore-slash-bar is a cultural hub, and the upstairs stage is often alive with acoustic sets, singer-songwriter sessions, jazz, and even spoken word. The vibe here is chill, creative, and unmistakably Icelandic — it's where you can sip a drink, browse books, and hear something totally unexpected, all in one evening. 4. Mengi If you're into avant-garde, experimental, or contemporary classical music, Mengi is the place. Located in a small venue on Óðinsgata, this artist-run space regularly features performances by composers, interdisciplinary artists, and improvisational musicians. It's intimate, forward-thinking, and always pushing the boundaries of what live music can be. 5. Salurinn (Kópavogur) — Special Highlight And just a short ride outside Reykjavík in Kópavogur is Salurinn, a beautiful, acoustically rich concert hall often hosting classical, jazz, and world music.And here's something you won't want to miss: On May 31st, Icelandic musician Halli Guðmunds will be performing live at Salurinn with a six-piece band. What makes this show special? The group will be playing Cuban-inspired music and original tunes, blending Latin rhythms with Icelandic flair.It promises to be a night of danceable beats, sophisticated arrangements, and pure joy. If you're anywhere near Reykjavík at the end of May — mark your calendar. You'll be treated to a one-of-a-kind musical journey.Click here for tickets for Club Cubano. 6. Lemmy On the edgier side, we have Lemmy, Reykjavík's go-to bar for rock, punk, and metal fans. The energy here is high-octane, the drinks are flowing, and the crowd is passionate. It's the kind of place where you go to let loose and discover bands that might just blow your mind. Lemmy is carrying the torch for Reykjavík's hard rock community — gritty, loud, and unapologetically fun. 7. Gaukurinn (currently closed for renovations) Gaukurinn, one of Reykjavík's key underground venues, is temporarily closed for renovations. When open, it's a haven for alternative music, from hardcore and punk to drag shows and open mics. We'll be watching closely for its return because this venue has long been a platform for some of the boldest, rawest talent in the country. 8. Dillon Whiskey Bar If you're craving classic rock vibes with a cozy, old-school atmosphere, Dillon is the place. Nestled in a wooden house near Laugavegur,
