This historic university is in Vesturbær, but University of Iceland isn't the only thing to check out in this corner of the world. If you've got time for more attractions, Hallgrimskirkja is worth a look too.

8.4/10 Very Good! (12 reviews)

The Ava apartments are ideally located for walking exploration around Reykjavik. We had a short challenge getting the access code to work and arrived before the cleaner was finished but it wasn’t a long wait. The street noise can be heard but just being in Reykjavik was such a treat.

Landakotskirkja

4.5/5(168 reviews)

Check out the gleaming gray-stone façade and tall tower of this neo-Gothic cathedral and its interior illuminated by beautifully colored windows and candlelight.

Tjörnin means "the lake" or "the pond". It’s a glacial lake in central Reykjavík and next to the Reykjavik City Hall and several museums. There is a great place to watch or feed birds, and a nice walk you can walk around the lake.
