Modern Icelandic cuisine? Many have tried and none have succeeded, except for this wonderful restaurant. Catch of the day lunch is a steal. Herb soaked cocktails and deconstructed classics.
interesting hotel. even more interesting when you have the key to access to the roof.
Go swiming. Icelandic pools are more like spas filled have clean warm water. Enjoy showering naked with same sex Icelanders.
The lamb soup is most excellent. Just the thing after a very chilly walk. Free refills from the very friendly locals.
Definitely take the path behind the waterfall – exhilarating! Expect to get wet. Start from the right – a little easier climb. And be careful: The whole path can get pretty slippery.
For those of you who don't understand the comment from olafur s. it says you have to try the pepper cheese burger. I agree! Mehr erfahren.
If you ever find yourself in dire need of more lopi in the middle of the night - fret not, Hagkaup in Skeifan is open 24/7 and offers a good selection
There's not a big selection of yarn here but if you are in Kringlan any way and you want to pick up a skein or two - this is the place to go.
The best bakery in Iceland for sure, but unreasonable staff rotation means the service is unpredictable. The sourdough is amazing and the croissants are the real deal.
There is usually a huge map of Iceland on the ground floor where you can walk around Iceland in 5 minutes.
Þingvellir (Thingvellir) is the National Park where the Althing – an open-air assembly, which represented the whole of Iceland – was established in 930. See http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1152
Solid convenience store. Not cheap but all over Reykjavik and full of local food/beverage brands.
Not as fun to browse as the 10-11 convenience stores, but a well-stocked full service grocery store. Locals say best prices are found here.
Wonderful meal and excellent service. A must do if you're looking for a classy meal in Reykjavik.
Totally amazing waterfall. If you have time you can climb stairs to get a view of the top.
Ask for a room facing the mountains and witness a glowing fireball that is the midnight sun.
A fantastic little hotel! Wonderful and quaint, especially those outdoor hot tubs filled with naturally heated water.
Ask to be seated at the bar, where you can watch each dish being prepared. Fascinating, amazing, delicious!
Start (or end) at Harpa and walk along the path by the water's edge to find the Sun Voyagee. A beautiful way to spend some time in Reykjavik.
