A fun stop for families with children, just remember to bring bread for the ducks and swans (and seaguls). You’ll also find very charming views of Reykjavík, and sometimes glimpses of northern lights too!

Go to a swimming pool in the evening!
Nothing is as grounding as going for a cold swim, soak in the hot tub and sauna before going to sleep! A local tradition is to go around 20:00 and change straight into pyjamas afterwards.
