Things to do

Want to do outdoor activities, shop at the market, or learn Icelandic? There are several things to do in Reykjavík.

Learn Icelandic

The City Library offers free social gatherings for those who want to practice speaking Icelandic in a friendly environment.

Spend Quality Time with Your Child

Go to a Family Park or Zoo

An animal and amusement park in Laugardalur. The Park offers classes about animals for children and youth. The amusement rides are only open in the summer, but you can see the animals being fed all year round, and sometimes you can even enjoy a horseback ride. The Park is open every day.

Go Swimming

There are few things better for mental, physical, and social health than the outdoors and exercise—and soaking in the hot tub is beyond compare! You can find more information about the City's swimming pools below.
