Mountain biking
Most people skip it on their way to Reykjavik, but here you'll find waterfront promenades, hidden street art, and the Icelandic Rock Museum for a local touch. Perfect for stretching your legs, sipping a cup of coffee overlooking the Atlantic, and starting (or ending) your trip with good vibes.
The airport is 10 minutes away.

Keflavík – Lighthouse, Anchor, and Sea Music
Many see it only as an airport town, but Keflavík has a seafaring soul. At the port, the yellow lighthouse (Keflavíkurviti) and the giant anchor sculpture await you, reminding you that everything here begins at sea. Among streets lined with murals and the smell of salt, two churches stand out: the classic Keflavíkurkirkja and the modern, triangular one.
In the 1960s, it was called the Liverpool of the North: bands that shaped Icelandic music emerged from here. A short stop, but one steeped in history, color, and character. ⚓🌊🎸
