What do you recommend us to do in the area?
We came up with this list as our Top Recommendations, especially for families:
• Soak in the thermal hot pool next door. The Laugardalslaug Pool opens early in the morning and stays open till very late. It is particularly child-friendly with water slides and numerous hot pools.
• Discover Skúbb; the best ice cream & sorbet in Reykjavik just around the corner- all hand-made using local organic milk and seasonal flavors. Pzzzt, the mango is an absolute treat.
• Make the most of Reykjavik with the 1/2/3 day Reykjavik City Card. It opens the doors to public pools, most museums and the city bus. This can be purchased at the reception.
• Our neighbors at Frú Lauga are the only exclusive local and organic shop in Reykjavik. We recommend paying them a visit. Pzzzt – before going grocery shopping, check out the Campsite open kitchen for food and stuff that fellow travelers have left for you. You might save time and money and discover new tastes.
• Kaffi Laugalækur is a local café, offering vegan & vegetarian dishes. A great spot close by.
• We recommend a visit to the Ásmundarsafn sculpture museum close by. It’s a beautiful building with contemporary displays and a sculpture garden.
• In the summer, you can take a ferry to Viðey Island, in the midst of the Faxaflói Bay. The ferry takes off from the harbor close by.
• Hop on a HOPP´bike. The view on your way to downtown stretches from Esja mountain to Harpa Concert Hall and all the way to Snæfellsjökull.
