Laugardalur: the back story

About Laugardalur: the back story

By the ULTIMATE Reykjavík Editorial Team

Editor-in-Chief: Jai Michael

Laugardalur, the “valley of the pools”, is Reykjavík’s green heart: the Botanic Garden, the large Laugardalslaug pool, Laugar Spa, the sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson’s museum and, in December, the Christmas Valley of lights.

Sights

The Botanic Garden and Ásmundarsafn.

Swimming and spa

Laugardalslaug and Laugar Spa.

Swim at Laugardalslaug, then warm up in the hot tubs with the locals.

Our advice: come in December for the Christmas Valley.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Laugardalur: the back story before you go.
