Kaffivagninn is Iceland's oldest restaurant – for something truly Icelandic, order a pancake roll with sugar. The cozy Coocoo's Nest is popular for brunches – the sourdough bread is definitely worth a visit – and the Grandi Mathöll food hall offers a view of the harbor. Interesting museums are based here, including the Reykjavík Maritime Museum, Whales of Iceland and the Living Art Museum, and here you can have pretty unique experiences like FlyOver Iceland. The Grandi fishing district has become a haven for hipsters and a base for innovative companies, artists and foodies while maintaining its authentic atmosphere and honoring maritime culture. ©Carolyne Parent/Shutterstock Feel the groove of Grandi
Lax seafood and bubbles inside Grandi Matholl, a street food market established in one of the old harbour's warehouse. It's particularly enjoyable to cycle along the shore and breathe in the fresh sea air, perhaps all the way to Grótta lighthouse on Seltjarnarnes and through the valleys Fossvogsdalur and Elliðaárdalur. There are multiple places to rent bikes in the city.
You can join several bicycle tours, but if you want to make your own discoveries, find a cycling route that looks promising and see where it takes you. Reykjavík is a fun city to explore by bike.
Combine a visit with a drink, lunch or dinner at Bragginn or Nauthóll. If you want to try it, start with a few minutes close to land. Sea swimmers come all year round to swim in the frigid sea around the heated cove and soak in the hot tub afterward. Locals love to come there for picnics and BBQ, play beach volleyball, make castles in the sand and sunbathe when warm enough. The seawater here is geothermally heated, and there is a proper hot tub. However, Nauthólsvík is a small white-sand beach (the white sand was moved there to make it look like the Mediterranean). Going to the beach is maybe not something you would expect when visiting the world's northernmost capital. Heiðmörk is perfect for families, but it's also popular among runners and bikers. In late summer, look out for berries or mushrooms. Bring something to BBQ or for a picnic, play in the playgrounds and fish in the lake. Walk among the 26 species of trees and try to spot some of the 60 species of wild birds that nest there. Get lost in Icelandic forest HeiðmörkĪnother little-known fact about Reykjavík is that it actually has its own forest, Heiðmörk Nature Reserve. Take a walk around the island, and explore its history and outdoor art, including Yoko Ono's Imagine Peace Tower. The stately white mansion you'll see here was built in the mid-18th century and now serves as a café in summer. This island used to be inhabited, but the island's village was abandoned in the mid-20th century. Excursion to Viðey islandĭid you know that a few islands are considered part of the Reykjavík metropolitan area? One of them, Viðey, is accessible by a 5-minute ferry ride.

We’re not looking at bringing him in for England series but maybe after that,” said Rennie. "We brought him in last year and he fitted in well. He left the door open for other overseas-based players to join the squad later in the season, including France-based lock Will Skelton, who he recalled for the Britain tour. Rennie is due to name his extended squad for the England series on Sunday. The Wallabies lost all three tests on that tour, defeated by Scotland, England and Wales. Rugby Australia allowed Rennie to pick several overseas-based players last season on a discretionary basis due to logistical issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic.īut the discretionary selections came under fire when Cooper, Kerevi and loose forward Sean McMahon snubbed the Wallabies' season-ending tour to Britain to stay with their Japanese clubs. He’s just top gear all day so we’re looking forward to getting that back."
"Marika is one of the best wingers in the world. "Samu only played a couple of tests but was nominated for (World Rugby) Player of the Year which only highlights the impact he had. "You look at Quade, he had a massive impact and a really calming influence, he was so impressive with the group (last season). "It’s exciting," Rennie told reporters in Sydney. Rennie said flyhalf Cooper and centre Kerevi had arrived in Sydney for medical checks, while winger Koroibete was due back at the weekend after visiting family in Fiji. Rugby Australia policy limits Rennie to picking three overseas-based players in a bid to strike a balance between building a strong Wallabies side ahead of next year's World Cup and protecting the domestic game. MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia coach Dave Rennie has confirmed Japan-based trio Quade Cooper, Samu Kerevi and Marika Koroibete as his international selections for the three-test series against England.
