With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Hafnarfjordur, 18 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Reykjavik Harbour, Laugavegur and Viking Village. Situated 20 miles away, Reykjavik is another place to aim for. If you swing by, don’t miss Reykjavik Harbour, Laugavegur and Viking Village.
