Reykjavík is the capital of Iceland, with shops, restaurants and museums, and is a good base for day trips around the country.

Heiðmörk Nature Reserve and the trail up Mount Esja are just outside the city, and there is a walking route along the Reykjavík coast. The Northern Lights Museum explains the aurora, while Perlan's "Wonders of Iceland" covers glaciers, volcanoes and other aspects of Icelandic nature, including an indoor ice cave.

»Our stay in Mosfellsbaer was very enjoyable. This little house has atmosphere, is situated outside of town, nice and secluded, with acces to nature and a small stream. Great for an after dinner hike or even a longer day hike. At the same time it is only 5 minutes by car away from town and close to Reykjavik. The house is cosy and has a nice garden. The owners take good care of this house and it shows. We were fine with the sleeping arrangement upstairs. There are 4 single beds under the eves.«
