🏔️ Nearby Sights

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

Mount Esja 20 km away (air distance)

Esja is about 900 metres at its highest, and its slopes show layers of old lava flows and volcanic rock eroded by glaciers. It has been a backdrop to the city since settlement, and Reykjavík residents use it as an everyday playground. A research station at the base studies the forests planted on the lower slopes.

Viðey Island 25 km away (air distance)

Viðey has been inhabited for centuries and once held a medieval monastery. Viðeyjarstofa, one of Iceland's oldest stone buildings, dates from the 18th century. Today the island is also an outdoor gallery: it features Richard Serra's large steel sculpture Áfangar and Yoko Ono's Imagine Peace Tower, dedicated to John Lennon.

Grótta Lighthouse 25 km away (air distance)

Check the tide tables before you go: the path across the causeway is only passable at low tide. The area is a nature reserve and is closed to visitors during the bird nesting season in early summer, so plan for the rest of the year. It's a superb place for sunset and, on clear winter nights, for watching the northern lights.
