Haven't been there after Covid-19 but previously they prepared the authentic Icelandic food in a special tasty way. The cods head is a delicacy that you can not miss even though it does not look good when you face it :) Its housed in the historical museum and there you can pose for a photo op in full viking outfit.

Quick to make pizzas, only 5 minutes from ordering, and they make sour dough pizzas too. Only though 12" pizzas but they taste good. The tomato sauce is something special.

Many restaurants sharing the tables and you select what you want from them drinks or food. We have only gone there once and liked the atmosphere and the chicken burger. Its very tasty. Heard that the other KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) is good and the rice wraps with lobster or shrimp too. We'll need to check that next time. :) Disadvantage that the kitchen closes at 21h00 but the bar stays open till 22h00. Ok if you are early.

Everything Else

Relax in the geothermal pools is so good for you. If you intend to go for a dip then you might want to think about buying a 10x card. It costs 4900 kr and you can use it many times in the same trip but a single trip for an adult costs 980 kr. There is a card in the house that you can use to refill so you'll save the 750 kr that a card costs. We recommend going to the swimming pool every day instead of rushing to the blue lagoon and pay the worth of two 10x pool cards for a single trip for one person. Open from 6 to 22h00 every day.

Getting Around

E-scooters all over the city. Easy way to go faster and more relaxed. Even in wintertime when their tires are spiked. Find the app Hopp and start Hopp-ing. (Hopp=Jump in Icelandic) You can also check their app for taxis, our own Icelandic Uber!
