One of the stops on the 60-minute route is Perlan at the top of Öskjuhlíð. Perlan houses the Wonders of Iceland exhibition. It includes a natural man-made ice cave indoors, a presentation on the power of the Earth, a VR of Látrabjarg – Europe’s most giant bird cliff and Water in Iceland. Additionally, there’s an outdoor deck with a 360° view of Reykjavik and the capital area.

Lækjargata – literally stream street – takes its name from the stream that once ran along the road. The famous Hard Rock Café is located on this street.

Reykjavik´s homemakers and housemaids washed laundry in geothermal hot springs here in Laugardalur until the early 20th century. Today the park is home to a swimming pool, sports center, botanical garden, and the Family Park and Zoo.

Höfði is considered one of the most historically significant buildings in Reykjavik. It was the location for the 1986 summit meeting of president Ronald Reagan and general secretary Mikhail Gorbachev to try to end the Cold War.
Travelling in a City Sightseeing bus, where you can hop-on and hop-off, is in our opinion one of the best ways to get a feel for a new city. It is one of the things we always check out in a new city. The Wonders of Iceland exhibition is wonderful for people of every age but especially for people who maybe don’t have time to travel all of Iceland. Just the fact that you can enter a REAL ice-cave (indoors) is worth the ticket!
