Things To Do
Perlan
Perlan is a great spot to visit, especially if you have kids. It's both a museum (including an ice cave) and rotating glass dome, which you can check out from the restaurant or observation deck overlooking the city. Sarah regularly has remote work hangs over coffee at the top of Perlan with her friend, Thora. Learn more: https://guidetoiceland.is/travel-iceland/drive/perlan
Lava Show
Sarah took her parents here in June 2024 during their first visit to Iceland. It's a fun, quick show and you learn A LOT about Iceland's volcanic history and ongoing activity. The lava show includes REAL lava. Learn more: https://www.instagram.com/lavashowiceland
Ásmundarsalur
Ásmundarsalur is right next to Hallgrímskirkja. Reykjavík Roasters (delish coffee shop/cafe) is downstairs and upstairs is home to a rotating art gallery. Ásmundarsalur has always been one of Sarah's fav spots.
Laugardalslaug
Laugardalslaug is the largest swimming pool in Reykjavík, in the Laugardalur neighborhood where Stefán grew up. Don't miss the delish hotdog stand on your way out. It's a must, highly recommended by both Stefán and Benni.
