Essentials in Reykjavik

Tjörnin: The Pond, a small lake in the city centre is a popular place to feed ducks and enjoy a sunny afternoon in the city. The nearby Music Pavilion Park is exceedingly popular in the summer when the weather is good.

Architecture: The buildings in Reykjavik are very unique, eclectic really. This is mostly due to lack of planning. The old town features some lovely wooden buildings covered in corrugated iron. But you'll see a lot of super modern buildings as well. Look out for City Hall, Reykjavik Cathedral and the Perlan.

Geothermal Springs: Iceland is famous for these with the Blue Lagoon just a short drive away with a Reykjavik car hire. There are a number of spas and pools in the city though to enjoy after a day of sightseeing.
