Sightseeing
Part of the culture since the earliest settlements, the pools in Iceland are more than a place to go for a swim. They are a part of life for Icelanders of all ages. No matter the time of year, or how small or remote the town is, you can almost guarantee you will find a local pool to enjoy. A visit to the swimming pools is a great way to experience the local culture.

Hallgrim's church in English. It's the second largest building in Iceland. The tower was made so high to outshine the tower of the catholic church. It took 42 years to build.

Συμβουλές για την πόλη

Airport Transfer
I recommend taking a shuttle bus with Reykjavik excursions (https://www.re.is/tour/flybus) from KEF airport to Bus stop 10: Hlemmur square. The apartment is a 3 min walk from there.

Traditional Icelandic food
If you want to try some Icelandic traditional food, don't buy it overpriced at a tourist trap restaurant. Look for this in the supermarket: Harðfiskur (fish jerky), Hangikjöt (smoked lamb), Hákarl (fermented shark), Skyr (high protein yogurt), Sviðasulta (sheep's head jam).

Central bus station/tour pick up
Hlemmur is the central bus station in Reykjavik and is 3 mins walking distance from the apartment. This is regular pick up location of many tour companies.
