How to Plan the Perfect Trip to Reykjavik, Iceland

"One of the local geothermal swimming pools that provides a true Icelandic, community-centered experience; visiting in the early morning is recommended to mingle with locals who enjoy the hot pots, and the pool scene is a quintessential way to relax like a resident." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

"Bergmann, the Swimslow founder, can’t resist the capital’s most classic spots. “My all time favorite pools in Reykjavík are Sundhöllin and Vesturbæjarlaug. I just love the atmosphere. I always go to the outdoor dressing rooms. It ́s so refreshing."

Sundhöll Reykjavíkur was a no-brainer and one of the best “local” experiences in Reykjavík. It has everything you want from an Icelandic pool: two heated pools (one enclosed), multiple hot tubs, steam room, cold plunge, and a small sauna. The hot tub with the jets was a highlight. It was my first time using an Icelandic public pool, so there’s a small learning curve (lockers, shower etiquette, finding your way around), but it’s straightforward and the staff were friendly and helpful. Everything felt fairly clean and well run. This is the kind of place you could easily make part of a daily routine—drop in for an hour or two and leave feeling reset.

Amazing place to come and relax in the pools, hot pots, sauna, steam room and diving board for a very reasonable price. Very clean and well maintained. This was definitely a highlight of our trip!

A really nice place with many different hot tubs of varying temperatures, a nice big cold plunge, a sauna, lap pool, lockers are included (and either have a built-in key or a code). Very family friendly.

I had a great time here. It was so relaxing after a long day out doing tours. The water is so warm and there is a lot to do— pool, hot tub, cold plunge, sauna. It is right in the heart of town too for only ~7$

We really enjoyed this Icelandic public bath. Highly recommend if you’re a tourist :). A range of different pools. Can hire towels if needed. Great location. Wish we had these public baths in the UK.

Definitely the best swimming pool I’ve ever been. Staying in Reykjavik for a few days as a tourist, now I’m jealous of people living here having access to this amazing public pool right in the city center.

This is a great place to swim a few laps or relax. The pools are good, clean enough and seem well maintained. There is a good variety of pools and activities. The entrance fee is reasonable and I appreciated the swimsuit dryer right after the showers. Remember to shower thoroughly without swimwear before going into the pool. I appreciated the clean and easy to use shower area and lockers. I will be going back here when I visit Iceland again.
