Everything Else

The biggest gym in Iceland. It also has a great swimming pool. If you just wanna go swim, don't go through World Class entrance, go through Laugardalslaug entrance for cheaper admission fee.

Go check it out during summer. If it is sunny and above 15°C (we call that hot!) you will find a lot of people there. There is also a small heated pool there, if you are feeling cold ;).

A nice mountain for hiking. Go there well prepared, it is going to take you a few hours to get to the top, depending on your speed and conditions. Bus (bus.is) #57 will get you to the roots.
