Iceland
 

Any favorite places to see in Reykjavik ?

1) The egg market
2) A spa, any spa

The flea market is OK, only open Saturdays and Sundays but worth checking out for an hour or so.

Just wandering around the old town, visiting a coffee shop or a bar and going up Hallgrimskirkja is an enjoyable way to spend the day.

Yes I would definitly check out one of the many pools, much cheaper than the overrated Blue Lagoon.

Art galleries? Museums? Are they your kind of thing?

I was Iceland 40 years ago, do they still bring in the hot water directly from the springs and does it smell of sulfur?

we did a puffin cruise out of Reykjavik harbor and it was a lot of fun.

Just walking around downtown, and then down by the harbor. Oh, the church of course. the Hallsgrimkirkja...its beautiful. We didn't go inside, and I'm sorry I forgot that there is an elevator up the tower, I would have liked to see the view from up there.

Some of my favorites:

- Hallsgrimkirkja - the big church
- City hall and the pond (great relief map and a nice little coffee shop inside) - bring bread to feed the birds
- Baejarins Beztu Pylsur for a great hot dog
- Saegreifinn - The Sea Baron - on the docks for inexpensive lobster soup and fresh seafood
- The Culture House - nice museum with a variety of exhibits (especially if the weather is bad)

The big church is worth the extra to go up in the lift, though the hot dog was as meh as I've ever had.
