Laugar Spa
30a SundlaugavegiRelaxation in a sauna environment, great for a rainy day
Icelanders love to go to the pool, all year around. Mostly we enjoy ourselves in the hot tubs actually, and Árbæjarlaug happens to have good ones with a rather nice view of the nearby park area. Great for relaxing a bit, and nothing beats a hot tub in bad weather.
