Frequently asked questions about cottages in Reykjavík
What would be a good 2-days itinerary for visiting Reykjavik?
On your first day, head to the Hallgrímskirkja church for panoramic views of Reykjavík. Afterwards, explore the Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre, known for its stunning architecture. For the evening, enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants in the city centre. On day two, take a day trip to the Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa known for its milky-blue waters. In the afternoon, visit the Reykjavík Art Museum, showcasing Icelandic art from various periods.
What part of Reykjavik is ideal for renting a cottage?
Cottages in Reykjavík are not very common. The city itself is quite compact and most accommodation options are within the city centre. If you are looking for a more rural experience, you could consider renting a cottage in the surrounding areas, such as the Reykjanes peninsula or the Hvalfjörður fjord, both within a short drive from Reykjavík.
What are the best cottages with parking in Reykjavík?
When is the best time to rent a cottage in Reykjavik?
The best time to rent a cottage in Reykjavík depends on your preferences. If you enjoy warm weather and long days, the summer months (June to August) are ideal. However, if you're looking for a more affordable option and don't mind the colder temperatures, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons (April-May or September-October). The winter months (November to March) offer the chance to see the Northern Lights, but be prepared for snow and shorter days.
What are the can't-miss sights in Reykjavik?
The Hallgrímskirkja church is a must-see, offering panoramic views of the city. The Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre is another architectural marvel, with its colourful glass facade. For a taste of Icelandic history, visit the National Museum of Iceland. And don't forget to explore the charming streets of the old town, with its colourful buildings and shops.
Why consider renting a cottage in Reykjavik for your stay?
While cottages are not common in Reykjavík itself, they offer a unique and more secluded experience compared to staying in a hotel or guesthouse. If you choose to stay in a cottage outside the city, you'll have access to beautiful natural surroundings and a peaceful atmosphere.
Can you easily explore Reykjavik on foot or by bike?
Reykjavík is a very walkable city, with most attractions located within a 2-3 km radius of the city centre. You can easily explore the main sights on foot, or rent a bike to cover more ground. However, for longer distances, consider using public transport or taxis.
What are the best restaurants in Reykjavik with nature views?
For stunning views of the ocean, try the restaurant at the Hotel Reykjavík Marina. If you prefer a more intimate setting with views of the city, consider the restaurant at the top of the Radisson Blu Saga Hotel. And for a unique experience, try the restaurant at the Perlan museum, which offers panoramic views of Reykjavík and its surroundings.
