With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Kopavogur, 20 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Laugavegur, Viking Village and Laugardalslaug Geothermal Pool. Don’t skip Mosfellsbaer either! Just 20 miles away, Varmarlaug Swimming Pool, Alafoss Waterfall and Ulfarsfell Mountain are must-sees here.
