Local Tip

Vesturbæjarlaug is one of the more local, less touristy geothermal pools in the city — worth a stop if you want to swim like a local.

🏔️ Nearby Sights

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

Tjörnin Pond 0.6 km away (air distance)

The pond lies in a low hollow that was once outside the early town, and over the years the shoreline has been shaped and landscaped. Today it is bordered by the city hall, a church and well-known buildings, and it has been a favourite place for walks, picnics and birdwatching for generations of Reykjavík residents.

Hallgrímskirkja 1 km away (air distance)

Take the lift up the tower for a 360° view over the colourful rooftops, the harbour and the mountains across the bay; it is one of the best vantage points in the city. Allow around an hour including the interior, check opening hours for services and concerts, and look for the statue of Leifur Eiríksson on the square outside.

Whales of Iceland 1 km away (air distance)

The models are made to scale and show species from small porpoises to the largest animal on Earth. The exhibition also touches on how whales are studied and protected. Iceland's waters are rich in whales, and several species can be spotted on whale-watching tours leaving from Reykjavík during the summer.
