You'll most definately end up there at some point. Walking around the pond on a lovely day is great way to begin or end a day in the city. Bring a loaf of bread for the ducklings and then have a seat at the "Við tjörnina" coffeehouse.

It's the heart of Icelandic music culture. The staff is knowledgable, which is a nice difference from the snotty teenagers who normally work in cinemas. They also show movies how they were intented - without any commercial breaks (which is a rarity in Iceland).

Visiting swimming pools in Iceland is almost mandatory. This one has a certain vibe that most other swimming pools lack - the Icelandic vibe, so to speak. It's cheap as well (550 isk), but do bring your bathing suits and a towel.

If you want to experience Reykjavik (or Iceland in general) in the past, then this might be a nice start. For postcard collectors this might be the catch of the day and for general history buffs this is a goldmine. The museum is considered to be one of the best free museum in the world, according to the Guardian.

It is positioned dead-center and doesn't require much effort really. It's a beautiful building and one of the most grand architectures in Iceland. Probably the most photographed building in Iceland.

I'm not so sure that your initial idea for the travel to Iceland included hanging out at the beach and swimming in the waters. It does sound crazy, right? In the most preferable circumstances the seawater in the lagoon is around 15°-19°C and the hot tubs are around 30°-39°C hot.

The area is lovely, the birdlife is fascinating and when the tides are right you can walk up to the lighthouse. Beware, if the tides are wrong you could get stuck there.

If you are an art lover, then why not? The building, originally build as a office and storage room for city government, is an interesting architecture and the exhibitions are normally quite appealing.

The experience of this museum really depends on the person that walks into it. But if you put yourself in a serious mindset while looking at various animal penises, then it doesn't really serve its purpose.

Since this is stationed in Kopavogur, the tourists don't come here so often. It has a nice slides for the kids, as well as a small pool for the infants. Perfect for the small families.

It's a good way to start a day by swimming a few laps, before hitting the shops. For the ones who forgot a towel or do not have access to a warm shower, then this solves the problem.
