WALKING THE STREETS OF REYKJAVIK, ICELAND! (4K)
Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland and about 60% of Iceland's entire population lives in the Greater Reykjavik area. It's a small city and very easy to get around by walking. One of the things that makes Reykjavik unique is that there is some very cool street art on the buildings and on the streets. We were there in summertime and spent a lot of time walking on Reykjavik's main street, Laugavegur. We also visited the unmistakable Hallgrímskirkja Church, which is one of Iceland's tallest structures, which is why you can get the best views of Reykjavik from the observation deck. We ate lunch at the most famous hot dog stand in all of Iceland, Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur, which was once picked as the best hot dog stand in all of Europe! We then walk past Austurvöllur, a main square, and passed by the Parliament Building and Reykjavik Cathedral. From there, we walked to Tjörnin Pond, where City Hall is located, but it also features perhaps the strangest statue in Europe: The Monument to the Unknown Bureaucrat. It was then time to visit the nearby Settlement Exhibition which was built around the ruins of a Viking Longhouse. Near the harbor, we visited the famous Sun Voyager steel sculpture and walked by the architectural landmark, Harpa Concert Hall. From there, we walked on a happening street named Bankastræti and then back in the other direction on Laugavegur.

Iceland Swimming Pools: Laugardalslaug a (local) pool in Reykjavik where you can swim for less - $8
Iceland Swimming Pools: Laugardalslaug a (local) pool in Reykjavik where you can swim for less - $8 for adults and much less for kids. Most towns in Iceland have a local pool. Highly recommend you check them out while visiting Iceland. Some are quite small. This is one of the largest. If you pass through Akureyri they have a very nice pool as well. You do shower naked before swimming in Iceland, but some pools, including this one have a stall where you can shower by yourself.
Laugardalslaug (address) Sundlaugavegur 105, Reykjavik

???????? Explore Reykjavik, capital of Iceland | by One Minute City
Reykjavík is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which, according to Landnámabók, was established by Ingólfr Arnarson in 874 CE. Until the 18th century, there was no urban development in the city location. The city was officially founded in 1786 as a trading town and grew steadily over the following decades, as it transformed into a regional and later national centre of commerce, population, and governmental activities. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world.[
Iceland - Driving Through Reykjavík, Kópavogur, and Gardabaer (2022)
