Some old fish huts that have been left alone for decades. It's a great spot to take amazing pictures and to go for a walk on the shore. Both in winter and summer.

The sea here behaves differently. This shore has a special atmosphere and you forget everything about the city.

Dominos has suprisingly many locations in Iceland and is by far the most successful fast food chain ever. Always a hit with programmers and teenagers that swear that the Icelandic dominos pizza is truly unique. We thinks it OK but at least it's cheap (compared to other things in iceland).

We recommend this restaurant a lot. It has great sourdough pizzas and nice pasta in a old building with wonderful atmosphere. Also its next door to one of the most popular places to view the northern lights in Reykjavik.
