🏔️ Nearby Sights

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

Laugardalur Valley 2 km away (air distance)

Laugardalur is a large green park on the edge of central Reykjavík, packed with things to do. The main draw is Laugardalslaug, the biggest swimming pool complex in the capital, with outdoor pools, hot pots and a water slide, and nearby are the botanical garden and a small zoo-like family park.

Perlan 2 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.

Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach 2 km away (air distance)

The beach was created in 2000 by pumping geothermal water into a lagoon and adding golden shell sand, so that the temperature is far warmer than the surrounding North Atlantic. The geothermal heating is produced by the city's hot water network. It is a fine example of how Reykjavík uses its geothermal resources for leisure as well as heating.
