🏔️ Nearby Sights

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

Laugardalur Valley 2 km away (air distance)

Joining locals in the hot pots is one of the most authentic things you can do in the city; bring a swimsuit and shower thoroughly first, as is the custom. The botanical garden is a peaceful stop in summer, and you could spend half a day in the area, especially with children. It is easy to reach by bus.

Perlan 2 km away (air distance)

Plan two to three hours if you want to see the exhibits as well as the observation deck. Booking tickets in advance is wise in summer. Afterwards, the woodland trails on Öskjuhlíð hill are great for a short walk, and Nauthólsvík geothermal beach is just a few minutes away. In winter, wear warm layers for the ice cave.

Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach 2 km away (air distance)

Nauthólsvík is a small sheltered bay in Reykjavík where warm water makes sea swimming surprisingly comfortable. A sandy beach, a lagoon enclosed by a sea wall and several hot tubs make it a lively spot on sunny days. The setting, with Reykjavík University and Öskjuhlíð hill behind, is green and peaceful.
