www.womanthismonth.com November 2017 LIFESTYLE | travel 57 The five-day Iceland Airwaves is an annual festival that’s widely recognised as one of the world’s premier showcases of new music and has previously featured the likes of The Kills, The Stills and Of Monsters and Men. Known for its intimacy and party spirit, the festival has been called "the hippest long weekend on the annual music-festival calendar" (David Fricke, Rolling Stone) so it’s name-dropping boastworthy. And, even better, it’s in Reykjavik, one of the most achingly cool places on the planet right now. It’s the world’s northernmost capital, with a population so small it’s barely a city, but it certainly bats well above its weight in terms of culture and entertainment. Whale watching and puffin tours are readily available. Enjoy Michelin-worthy food at Dill restaurant. Take a short trip out of the city to visit the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. Take a Northern Lights boat tour. See the stunning Sun Voyager sculpture at Sæbraut Road. Rock out to some of the best new bands at Airwaves.
