Neighbourhood
Laugardalur (Hot Spring Valley) is a major centre for sports and recreation in the capital. In Laugardalur you will find the largest outdoor thermal pool in Reykjavík, Laugardalslaug (3 km from our apartment), in which you can swim all year round. It is very hard to describe the experience of tiptoeing over frozen ground to the pool in your swimsuit and then immersing yourself in the wonderful water that nature (and some ingenious Icelandic geothermal engineering) has thoughtfully heated to just the right temperature: the number of returning visitors definitely suggests it’s worth trying.
Laugardalur also boasts a beautiful botanical garden (2,5km from our apartment) featuring an impressive selection of Arctic flowers and plants. Beneath the branches of a leafy grove in the gardens, you'll find the lovely Café Flora.
The Family Park and Zoo (2,5km from our apartment) in Laugardalur is open all year. The Zoo includes most Icelandic animals, both wild and domesticated, from foxes, reindeer and seals to cattle, horses and sheep. In summer the Family Park offers many rides and play equipment for children of all ages. Outside the summer season, the Family Park remains open as a play area.
At the edge of the Laugardalur valley, not far from Laugardalur Arena, is a strangely shaped, domed white building. It is known as the Reykjavík Art Museum’s Ásmundarsafn sculpture collection (4 km from our apartment). This used to be the studio of Ásmundur Sveinsson (1893-1982), a pioneer of Icelandic sculpture. In addition to his works exhibited inside the museum, a sculpture garden outside contains many of his monumental works.
Reykjavík’s main sports stadium (3 km from our apartment) is also located in Laugardalur valley and mostly used for football (soccer) matches in the summertime. Close to the stadium is the Laugardalsholl arena, a multipurpose indoor venue built in 1965. In addition to large pop and rock concerts, trade shows.
Other sports facilities in the valley include running tracks, football fields and an indoor ice rink (800m from our apartment). The valley is also the location of Secret Solstice; one of Reykjavík's largest and greatest annual music festivals.
For a relatively small city, Reykjavík is a shopper’s paradise. There is literally something for everyone, charming little street boutiques, beautiful local and international design stores, or large shopping malls with a great variety of stores. Skeifan (3km from our apartment) is a formerly industrial area in the centre of Reykjavík, which is today primarily a commercial site where most of the locals do their shopping.
