Arts & Culture

Only 3-4 min walk from the apartment you find this iconic place in the history of Reykjavik and Iceland. A really nice designed exhibition on how the furst inhabitants of Iceland settled. The site is thought to show the oldest man made structure ever found in Iceland.

The Iceland Symphony Orchestra gives weekly concerts in Harpa Concert Hall, only 12 min walk from Ásvallagata 33. A concert with the orchestra is by far the best way to experience this iconic building, Harpa.

Visit to the House of Collections, Safnahúsið, is a great way to get to know Icelandic visual arts with one stop. In different rooms of this old grand house you experience the treasures of Iceland at once.

This very nice outdoor geothermal local swimmingpool is located only 3 min walk from the apartment. It´s here where the locals go to get ready for the day or soak in after work. Check it.

Just 50 meters down my street, there is a nice local convenient store called Kjötborg. It is not open all the time but has everything you need to save your life.

Best coffee in town is probable the coffee at the Reykjavik Roasters. They have 3 locations. Check out the newest one in art space Ásmundarsalur on Freyjugata. Beautiful interior and not as tourist filled as the original location on Kárastígur.

Great coffee and atmosphere in this newly opened café. Scandinavian design, Japanese-inspired sandwiches and nice staff makes it a perfect spot.

城市建議

交通資訊

Scooters – easy to get, easy to use.

I recommend my guests to download the Hopp app and use it to get cheap scooters around the city, there are always some scooters around. It's cheap, environmental friendly and fun. Reykjavík is a small city so it is easy to get around by a scooter.
交通資訊

Flybus to and from the airport

I recommend the Flybus.is for getting from and to the Keflavik International Airport. It is the fastest way to get to BSI Bus Terminal in downtown Reykjavik and the terminal is only little over 10 min. walk from my place or a cheap taxi ride.
交通資訊

Get KLAPPIÐ app for bus tickets

The app KLAPPIÐ is the way to buy tickets for local busses. Not perfect but works and you can stop fearing of paying with all the small coins.
交通資訊

App for paid parking

The PARKA app is good for parking, also works at major tourist destinations.
