🏔️ Nearby Sights

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

Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach 1.0 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.

Perlan 1 km away (air distance)

Perlan was completed in 1991 on top of tanks that store geothermal hot water for the city's heating system. The site is a nice reminder of how deeply geothermal energy shapes daily life in Iceland, and the museum's exhibits on glaciers, volcanoes and the northern lights explore that story further.

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.
