Spíran

Spíran is a family-friendly bistro place on the upper floor of Garðheimar gardening store, where healthy and good food is served for lunch and dinner every weekday, as well as good coffee and pastries until the end of the day.

On weekends we offer a Brunch buffet.

The menu is varied which means there is always something new and fresh in the food every day.

You can choose one of the dishes of the day for lunch or dinner, and the soup of the day is included along with poured coffee if eaten on site.

City Hall

City Hall is the home of a huge 3D printed map of Iceland on the ground floor. The building itself as the architects conceived Reykjavík City Hall primarily as an interface where the contrasts of nature and city intertwine into a complex, three-dimensional whole.

Mount Helgafell

Formed in the late Ice Age when a volcano erupted under a glacier, today Helgafell Mountain anchors Hafnarfjörður. Rising low in the distance beyond the town, this dense sandstone and lava mound is often referred to as the town's mountain. With an accessible and easy trail, walking on Helgafell is popular for all levels of hikers, including young children. An ascent begins at the Kaldársel sheep corral, not far from the small Kaldárbotnum Reservoir.

Elliðavatn lake

Elliðavatn is a lake situated in the area of Reykjavík. It is in the vicinity of natural park Heiðmörk with its hiking and biking trails, small forests, and lava formations. The eastern shores of Elliðavatn are part of the Heiðmörk nature reserve, protected by the state. The lake was originally two different lakes called Vatnsendavatn and Vatnsvatn. The former belonged to the town of Kópavogur (Culture Hill), and the latter to Reykjavík, meaning Elliðavatn rests on the borders of the two.

Reynisvatn lake

Reynisvatn is one of many small lakes within the city limits of Reykjavík and is located in Grafarholt. Rainbow trout, trout, char, and salmon have been released into the water and fishing licenses have been sold on the spot. Reynisvatn, like other release lakes, is popular with children, and others who are taking their first steps in the fishery, as it is a well-known fact that there is plenty of fish on-site and all fish are healthy.
