Uppáhaldsstaðurinn minn í borginni, ekki spurning. Hef samt aldrei vitað fólk eins sjúkt í að leggja ólöglega. Er það manni lífshættulegt að ganga nokkur skref? Það er pæling...

By far the best coffee in town, really personal, and the baristas love to talk about coffee.

Great restaurant in Reykjavik, Iceland. The restaurant turns around and shows at beautiful view over Reykjavik. The food is great!
When you're going up to your room, taking the stairs is not only the faster route up, but it's a quick way to warm up from walking around town.
Óvissuferðin er málið. Færð að smakka á fullt af réttum og hún er mjög vel út í látin. Svipað verð og venjulegir réttir
Go straight to the cashiers desk to order instead of waiting for a waiter, it will take too long otherwise
Best hostel. Ever. Young, hip & pretty much self-contained (bar, restaurant, hair salon, laundry are all inside), and overlooking the water!! I'll never stay anywhere else in this city.
A must visit. This little cafe is friendly, relaxed and looks like a living room. Pop in for a coffee or a hot chocolate.

Vegir liggja til allra átta - ....en þeir byrja hér! / All roads go from here - safe travels
Nice area as a part of Garðabær city. Try to stroll along the shore and enjoy nature but don't expect to be super welcomed by the local inhabitants.
Madical and Health Care Museum, built during the period 1761-63 for the first Surgeon General of Iceland, Bjarni Palsson. For more visit: http://www.nat.is/museums/nesstofa_seltjnes.htm
Good facilities (hot plate, kettle, recycling bins, outdoor grill, wifi). Great brand new heated showers/bathrooms in the back. About 30-35min walk to the centre at a moderate pace.
Has one of the freakiest pieces of architecture you will find in Reykjavik. You can't miss it.
Videyjarstofa is one of the oldest houses in Reykjavik. Fantastic view over Reykjavik, a must see!
The admission is valid on the same day for Hafnarhus, Kjarvalsstadir and Asmundarsafn!
A museum built around an excavated home from the early 10th Century. Pretty awesome.
Climb to the dome, walk to the center of the room and talk. The acoustic is stunning!
Not much of a vegiterian, but the food here is mind-blowing! Kodos to the chef and the greens of the world. Подробнее.
There are really few walks as romantic as the one to Grótta. You could have unforgettable moments away from the downtown. But don't forget the island is only reachable when the tide is low.
Great atmosphere, free wifi, a bit small but cute, perfect for read something. Just find somewhere to sit and enjoy ;)
