Things to do
Want to do outdoor activities, shop at the market, or learn Icelandic? There are several things to do in Reykjavík.
Go for a Walk
Learn Icelandic
The City Library offers free social gatherings for those who want to practice speaking Icelandic in a friendly environment.
Attend Cultural Events
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.
Grow Your Own Vegetables
The vegetable gardens for the summer of 2022 will open on May 1. Reykjavík residents can get a vegetable garden for their own use.
