Notable places within about 40 km — shown as straight-line (air) distance, not travel distance

Árbæjarsafn Open-Air Museum 3 km away (air distance)

The museum, part of the Reykjavík City Museum, began collecting buildings that were threatened by redevelopment in the city centre. Instead of demolishing them, they were moved here and restored. Together they give a vivid sense of how Reykjavík grew from a small fishing and farming settlement into a modern capital over the past two centuries.

Laugardalur Valley 3 km away (air distance)

Laugardalur is a large green park on the edge of central Reykjavík, packed with things to do. The main draw is Laugardalslaug, the biggest swimming pool complex in the capital, with outdoor pools, hot pots and a water slide, and nearby are the botanical garden and a small zoo-like family park.

Perlan 4 km away (air distance)

Perlan sits on top of Öskjuhlíð hill, crowned with a shimmering glass dome built on six giant hot water tanks. Inside, the museum explores Iceland's natural wonders with interactive exhibits, a planetarium and a real indoor ice cave. A viewing deck wraps around the dome, giving wide views over Reykjavík, the sea and the mountains.
