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

Mount Esja 6 km away (air distance)

The most popular route leads up to a stone landmark, around the halfway mark, and takes a couple of hours. A more demanding path continues toward the summit ridge, with steep, loose sections that should be avoided in poor weather or when there is snow. Bring water, windproof layers and sturdy boots, and check the forecast before you set off.

Viðey Island 9 km away (air distance)

Take the ferry from the harbour or from Skarfabakki pier, and check the timetable before you go, since services vary by season. Bring a picnic and sturdy shoes; there's a café in the old house on the island. The Imagine Peace Tower, a column of light, is lit on particular dates, including 9 October and the winter solstice.

Höfði House 11 km away (air distance)

Höfði is a graceful white wooden house on a grassy rise by the sea, close to the coastal path in Reykjavík. It looks modest, but this small building sits at a pivotal moment in modern history, and the setting of shoreline, lawns and the bay beyond makes it a pleasant stop.
