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.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (27 reviews)
Absolutely great. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Very spacious, spotless clean, totally fell in love with the floors. The sauna and tub were spectacular, got some amazing aurora views while relaxing in both. The neighborhood was great, with multiple stores like Bónus just a few minutes away. The owner was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
