The most popular ice-cream shop in town. Most people go there for the so-called "old" ice cream (as appealing as that sounds), it's less creamy and lighter than the regular one. I'm one of the few ones who actually prefers the "new" one, the creamier, the better.

This area, the old harbor, is a very nice part of town. Filled with new restaurants, coffee-shops, a ice-cream shop etc. etc. And the harbor view isn't bad either! ...

The Nordic House in Iceland, by architect Alvar Aalto. Checking out the beautiful architecture, having a walk in the nature reserve for birds/swamp and drinking a cup of coffee is enough in itself. Other than that there are always interesting events in Norræna húsið; literature evenings, concerts, exhibitons, movie nights, poetry readings etc. etc. etc. We love this place! http://nordichouse.is/en/
