🏔️ Nearby Sights

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

Tjörnin Pond 1 km away (air distance)

A circuit of the pond takes about twenty minutes, which makes it an easy break between the museums and shops nearby. Spring and early summer bring the most birds, including Arctic terns and their chicks; you are asked not to overfeed the ducks with bread. In winter the surface often freezes, and locals skate on the ice.

Hallgrímskirkja 2 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.

Whales of Iceland 2 km away (air distance)

Whales of Iceland is an indoor exhibition in the Grandi harbour district, where more than twenty life-sized whale models hang and stand through a darkened hall. Walking between them, you can appreciate just how enormous creatures like blue whales and sperm whales really are. An audio guide explains the species that visit Icelandic waters.
