It is my favourite cafe both in the day for nice coffee and in the evening they serve beer and wine. Lovely atmosphere with great vibes and people. Try the soup and bread and the burger is delicious!

Great spot for walks and to spot the northern lights in the winter!
This is the place to swim in the ocean and then warm up in the outdoor hot tub right on the beach. Beware, it is rather cold in the ocean but well worth it!

Next to Hallgrímskirkja is a house that was owned by the sculpturist Einar Jónsson. In the garden of the house there is a lot of his work on display. Recommend to go there for an evening walk as the garden is lit up.
