Reykjavik Attractions
Our time in Iceland was very limited. While over there, we made sure we saw most of the sights if not all. Thus, from 7 am to 6 pm, we went sightseeing, exploring practically every corner of the city. Fortunately, the city itself was not very big and its sights were close to each other. Except for the bus rides to the Maritime Museum as well as to the ferry dock to travel to Videy Island, we simply walked all over. I remember walking over 20,000 steps each day sometimes even close to 30,000. We often visited the major sights first thing in the morning, had lunch in the hotel, then went out again to do more touring in the afternoon. Many stores did close by 6 pm and by then we decided to rest and recharge back in our accommodations.
do need to mention that the entire time we were there, Reykjavik felt like a city in the US. American tourists were everywhere and people speaking with American accents could be heard for blocks on end.

Would you believe, this pond is considered an attraction in the city?
We saw this mosaic mural on our way to the Reykjavik Art Museum
At the lobby of the Harpa Performing Arts Theater with the painting named Two Women and a Horse right behind me.
It is said that when one visits Iceland, one has to try the country's bread. Well, we did. Everyday we were there, not just for breakfast but throughout the day.
The city of Reykjavik was full of colorful homes and low rise buildings like these ones.
This was a very grand house and inn. It looked very elegant.
