Attractions in Reykjavik

Take a drive to Perlan, a dome-capped structure situated on Öskjuhlíð Hill that stands over 80 feet tall. Its museum and the 328-foot man-made cave built from snow and ice are fascinating and highly educational. Equally enjoyable is Perlan’s restaurant and an observation deck that offers terrific panoramic views of the ocean and distant volcanic hills. Tjörnin, another attraction in Reykjavik, is a beautiful lake situated in the center of the city. Park at any of the nearby parking areas and enjoy a stroll along the picturesque lakeside pathway.

Places to Visit Outside Reykjavik

Located just southeast of Reykjavik, Heiðmörk is a designated conservation area that’s well worth a short drive for an exciting visit. Park your rental car and wander through trails strewn with ancient lava remnants, while enjoying the surrounding beauty that Iceland is known for. Mount Keilir is another notable stop outside of Reykjavik. It's a small, extinct volcano, but if you're feeling energetic, you can easily climb in and around it in roughly three hours. Its summit offers great views of Iceland’s magnificent surrounding terrain, and you can easily drive there since it’s not far off the Reykjavik to Keflavik Airport route.

 

Parking and Traffic Information in Reykjavik

Reykjavik’s traffic flow is very well organized and decidedly calm, especially when compared to other capital cities. With a good city map or a navigation app, you can easily locate all of the interesting places you want to visit in and around the city. Getting there in your rental car will be no problem, especially if you avoid early morning and early evening rush hour times. There are plenty of parking spaces available throughout the city. Payment is usually made via parking meters or ticket machines, so keep some coins handy. Keep in mind that parking is less expensive if you park further away from the central shopping area of Laugavegur. Also, look out for free parking, which is often available throughout several city spots, including many of the city's museums, such as the National Museum and Maritime Museum.
