Relax as you stroll through the stimulating artworks on display at the Kopavogur Art Museum, the Kjarvalsstadir, the ASI Art Museum and the Einar Jonsson Museum. Afterwards, why not go to a local café and muse over your time there?
Sometimes it's the main exhibits that catch our eye. Other times it's a small gem that's been hidden away in a dusty corner. Keep a lookout for both at Reykjavik Electricity Museum, the Natural History Museum of Kopavogur, Asgrimur Jonsson Collection and the Medical and Health Care Museum Nesstofa.
Witnessing a first-rate performance is a thrilling experience. Reserve your tickets at Salurinn Kopavogur Concert Hall and the National Theatre of Iceland for a great night out.
Finding places to amuse the kids can be top priority when holidaying with the family. Keep a lookout for the National and University Library of Iceland, the Reykjavik City Library and the Menningarmiðstoð Kópavogs.

On a cloudless day, fill your lungs with fresh, clean air and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature at Reykjavik Harbour, Reykjavik Pond, Oskjuhlid Hill and Seltjarnarnes Peninsula Jogging Path.

No trip to the city is complete without catching a game at Laugardalsvollur, home to the Iceland national football team and Iceland women's national football team. If it's game day while you're here, don your team's colours and get ready to heartily cheer them on.
If you'd rather spend money on experiences than on a hotel room, the Guesthouse Lily and the Guesthouse Aurora are a couple of places you should check out. Alternatively, let the friendly staff at the Black Pearl or the 101 hotel take care of you. After all, what are getaways for if not spoiling yourself?
