No visit to Iceland would be complete without exploring the world’s most northerly capital city. The perfect base for any Iceland trip, most day tours operate from Reykjavik, taking you out to rural parts of the island. But don’t be fooled – Iceland’s capital also offers incredible sights, a friendly culture and a cosmopolitan charm, so be sure to make time to explore it.

The city’s full of colour, as each and every corrugated iron house is painted a different colour to the next– take a moment to soak up the views around you before getting a few snaps. The night life won’t disappoint either – whether you’re a total foodie, want to experience the lively bars or enjoy a bit of both, Reykjavik has an abundance of world-class independent restaurants and quirky bars to party on down in with the friendly locals.

Fly from Reykjavik to Toronto

Why not book Toronto as part of your Canada multi-centre holiday? Toronto is that rarity among major North American cities, with a community of small-town virtues, few big city vices, and pleasant tree lined streets to balance out the skyscrapers. Toronto has all the advantages of a city of three million people, an art world, theatre, television production, 6000 restaurants, major-league baseball, hockey and football. Toronto is also Canada’s largest city, with over 2.5 million residents and it is also the business and financial capital.

For museum and culture lovers, there is the Royal Ontario Museum, which exhibits a wealth of natural history and world culture. For art lovers there is the Art Gallery of Ontario which houses contemporary artwork from around the world. The Gardiner museum is the only museum in Canada that is solely dedicated to ceramics, of which have been acquired from many locations across the globe. For animal lovers there is the Toronto Zoo, which houses an amazing 5,000 plus animals comprising of over 450 individual species.

Toronto also has some fantastic shopping experiences at hand. The Yorkville Neighbourhood, Financial District, Harbourfront are all popular destinations to suit any shopping fanatics. The Eaton Centre is by far the most popular destination for shopping, with over 50 million visitors on an annual basis. Toronto is certainly a recommended Canada multi-centre stop off, particularly if you want a pleasant urban experience as part of your holiday.

Fly from Toronto to Boston

If America doesn't 'do' history, then they should perhaps let Boston know. Boston, a popular USA multi-centre stop off, is the cultural hub on the east coast in Massachusetts and drenched with History. A particular tea party helped shape the present day United States of America. Grand claims have been made of Massachusetts’ capital of Boston throughout its history.

They are reflected in many of Boston’s nicknames: ‘Cradle of Modern America,’ ‘Hub of the Solar System’ and ‘Athens of America.’ However, in the beginning, when the settlement in Boston took root in 1624, it was simply called ‘Tri-mountain’, given its location beside three hills on the mouth of the Charles River. This was before Boston was named after the small English town in Lincolnshire, the original home of several founding Puritan families.

A big university town, Boston can be refreshingly highbrow, but it's also unpretentious. Its proud Irish and Italian communities are as huge a part of the city's make-up as its sports fanaticism or its artistic leanings. A short trip to Boston is truly an unforgettable experience, as Boston has so much to offer. Whatever you decide to do, we can help.
