If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of tips. Located 16 miles away, Mosfellsbaer is worth jumping in the car for. Soak up the sights beginning with Varmarlaug Swimming Pool, Alafoss Waterfall and Ulfarsfell Mountain. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Kopavogur, 25 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Laugavegur. (But we’re also big fans of Viking Village and Laugardalslaug Geothermal Pool.)
