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

Árbæjarsafn Open-Air Museum 2 km away (air distance)

Allow two hours to wander at your own pace, and note that opening hours and guided tours vary by season. In summer, costumed staff demonstrate crafts and farm tasks, and the café serves traditional pastries. Because most of the visit is outdoors, wear weatherproof clothing, and children usually enjoy the animals and open space.

Sky Lagoon 3 km away (air distance)

Opened in 2021, the spa takes inspiration from Icelandic bathing traditions and turf-house architecture. Guests follow a multi-step ritual that alternates warm water, cold plunge, sauna, steam and a skin scrub. The geothermal water is drawn from nearby sources and mixed to keep the lagoon at a comfortable temperature.

Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach 3 km away (air distance)

The beach is busiest in summer, but the hot tubs are also used by hardy locals in cooler months, and there is a café on site. Bring a towel and swimsuit, and use the changing rooms. It is easily combined with a walk or cycle along the coastal path or a visit to Perlan, a short distance away.
