Hellisgerði Lava Park
5 km away (air distance)
Hafnarfjörður is famous in Icelandic folklore as a place where elves and hidden people are said to live in the lava. Many locals take such stories seriously, and building projects have been adjusted in the past to avoid disturbing certain rocks. The park was laid out in the early 20th century and has long been loved by residents.
Sky Lagoon
5 km away (air distance)
It's best to book ahead, particularly for evening and summer slots, and you should plan on two to three hours. The lagoon is a short drive or bus ride from central Reykjavík, which makes it a convenient alternative to the Blue Lagoon, especially if you are not heading toward the airport. Sunset sessions are especially atmospheric.
