Great place to stay as it’s very walkable to restaurants and museums. It is a little louder outside but goes with what you would expect in the middle of town. The breakfast was simple but very good. I stayed in the Tannery and loved the whole idea of these “homes”.

'Completed: 2002 Trivia: Reykjanes peninsula lies on one of the world's major plate boundaries, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. With the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates continuously drifting apart, linear fractures, known as fissures, form. The Bridge between the two continents is a small footbridge over such a major fissure. Consequently, you can have one foot on European soil and the other on North American soil at the same time.'
