Rather pay $15 to relax in a geothermal heated pool/hot tub, than $150 at Blue Lagoon? Check out the local public bathhouse, pool, and sauna.
No pool side bar, but nice staff, and a great way to soak off sore muscles after walking or touring all day.
The steam sauna is big and quiet modern feeling. The dry sauna is "cosey" but effective.
There is a warm "kids" pool, warm, indoor pool, an outdoor pool (not sure if it is hot or cold) Hot tubs, hotter tubs, and a cold plunge.
everything is very clean and well maintained.
The changing rooms are gendered, but contain private changing rooms.
All patrons must take full unclothed soapy showers before using the pools, but semi private stalls are available (and maybe some fully private?)
Bathing suits are required as all the other facilities are co-ed/mixed genders
Great place to meet locals and learn a little about life in Reykjavik.
I visited twice in a 5 day trip and wish I had found it earlier as it was the perfect way to end each evening.
