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

Mount Esja 6 km away (air distance)

Mount Esja rises across the bay from Reykjavík, its long ridge changing colour with the light and the seasons. Several marked trails climb its slopes from a car park at the foot, and the views back across the bay to the capital, the sea and the mountains get better with every step.

Viðey Island 9 km away (air distance)

Viðey has been inhabited for centuries and once held a medieval monastery. Viðeyjarstofa, one of Iceland's oldest stone buildings, dates from the 18th century. Today the island is also an outdoor gallery: it features Richard Serra's large steel sculpture Áfangar and Yoko Ono's Imagine Peace Tower, dedicated to John Lennon.

Höfði House 11 km away (air distance)

It was built in 1909 for a French consul and later was home to a poet before being bought by the city.

Local stories also say that the house is haunted by a ghost.
