13 'Expensive' Cities You Can Actually Visit on a Tight Budget

12. Reykjavik, Iceland: Happy Hours & Harbor Strolls

Iceland is notoriously pricey, but you can manage Reykjavik smartly. Walking the compact city center, admiring Hallgrímskirkja church (pay only for tower view), exploring the colorful harbor, and visiting the striking Harpa Concert Hall exterior costs nothing. Take advantage of widespread happy hour deals ('Appy Hour' app helps find them) for relatively cheaper drinks. Skip expensive restaurants by utilizing grocery store bonuses (like Bonus or Kronan) for picnic supplies to enjoy amidst the city's surprisingly numerous green spaces or by the water.
