Iceland Walking Tour - Reykjavík [4K]

[@markust7709]

Are you on segway? If not the stability and coordination of your hands/body is AMAZING!!! Looks like you gliding.

[@IcelandHotSpots]

Haha thank you Markus. No I don't have a segway but I have a gimbal. And I walk in a very funny way to increase stability. People who see me film probably think I'm bonkers.

[@markust7709]

@@IcelandHotSpots Okay, i see. I watched the entire video non-stop in VR (well that did not make it 3D but I had HUGE Imax-like view :) So I watched the entire lenghts of it and enjoyed this video so much, it made my day. I especially liked the idea that you went inside that modern theater... It would be so nice to also have a video of more Reykjavik streets and parks like Laugavegur, Laekjargata and more but I guess it is time and energy consuming. And the bad thing that Google Maps street view often is outdated. Your videos gave the fresh view. Thank you!

[@IcelandHotSpots]

You watched it in VR? Cool. I'm sure I will follow up on your recommendations and film more in Reykjavík this coming summer. But you are right, time and especially weather are limiting factors.

[@argusfleibeit1165]

I watched this three years ago, and my brain thinks I was actually in Reykjavik. I kind of have flashbacks about the walk and where "we went". I watched it alone, but I keep thinking I was there with my partner, maybe because I feel I walked with another person, which was this anonymous camera person. It was odd to hear the wind and street noises, yet you never said as much as "Excuse me" to the pedestrians you barged past, nearly colliding a couple of times. I loved seeing the evil Christmas Cat again, and so many sculptures along the way. Thanks for doing this. I know I will never go there. I just started thinking about it because of the threatened volcanic eruptions near the Blue Lagoon.

[@IcelandHotSpots]

Thanks and I'm glad you got that immersive feeling. The camera is has a sort of fisheye lens so people may seem a lot closer than they actually are. I'm sorry if I gave the immpression of a rude person.

Saludos desde Santa Fe Argentina. Se ve una muy linda ciudad. Borges, un gran escritor argentino de fama mundial era fanático de la cultura , la literatura islandesa y de sus tradiciones. sentía fascinación por Islandia y la visitó tres veces. Dejó un gran recuerdo en el poblado de Reykholt y en todo el ámbito literario de Islandia.

Amazing! I'm really interested in living there. I'm very impressed with people's behaviour. I mean, they seem to be very kind, polite.... You are walking through the main city, the capital, and I couldn't hear any noise. Awesome

[@IcelandHotSpots]

Yes it has this small town feel to it, which I guess it is in a way

[@gisli9955]

Hmm, not sure if it's really politeness. 1. We only have 366k inhabitants, 1/3rd of which lives in the capital area. 2. The weather is really only good during the summer, and this was filmed during winter, it seems. (It's also windy. VERY windy. 80% of our country's energy is green, but we literally can't use wind-power because there's TOO MUCH wind! Haha. Most of our energy is actually geothermal energy or hydropower) 3. People mostly stay inside, and drive from place to place, as there's not much to do outside. (we drive a LOT. We have only 366k inhabitants, but over 330k registered vehicles!)

Thanks and I don't know about segways but you should have no problem renting scooters. If that works for you. To get a better feel for the street names check the video description or turn on caption. They will give you more detail. There are places where you can get real wool sweaters. Check the smaller shops and ask around, the larger tourist shops often have imported ones.
