If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Located 25 miles away, Hveragerdi is worth getting in the car for. Among your first stops here should be Reykjadalur Valley, Geothermal park and LA Art Museum. The locals will also probably point you toward Mosfellsbaer, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Varmarlaug Swimming Pool. (But we’d also recommend Alafoss Waterfall and Ulfarsfell Mountain.)
