Árbæjarsafn Open-Air Museum
3 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.
Laugardalur Valley
3 km away (air distance)
The name means "valley of the hot springs", because natural hot water bubbled out of the ground here. Reykjavík's women once carried their laundry to the springs to wash it, and the site was an important part of daily life until the early 20th century. Today the valley is the city's main sports and leisure district.
Perlan
5 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.
