Gljúfrasteinn is a writers museum. It was the home and workplace of Halldór Laxness (winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1955) and his family for more than half a century. It has now been opened to the public as a museum, unchanged from when Laxness lived there.
 

 "Úlfarsfell" is lower than its sister "Esja", and definitely not as well known. But it's actually closer to central Reykjavík and offers just as an impressive view over the city.

Dramatically dominating the Reykjavík City skyline and providing a stunning backdrop to the capital area is the impressive Mount Esja, a popular destination for day-trippers and riddled with well-worn hiking trails. Once surmounted, the view from the top of this 914-metre high mountain is breathtaking.

Varmárlaug in Mosfellsbær is an outdoor thermal pool, also with two hot tubs, sauna, childrens’ pool and play area.

Álafosskvosin is a small area in Mosfellsbær where you can find handcrafted Icelandic items like woolen sweaters, hats, scarfs, handcrafted knives, toys, sculptures and furniture. 

Lágafellslaug pool offers a 25m competition pool, indoor pool, children's pool, lounge pool along with three water slides. Furthermore there are two hot tubs, a massage tub and a cold tub.

Walkers, hikers and cyclists will love the extensive network of paths and cycling routes in this stunning part of the city!
