On your way to the main destination in Reykjavik, you can come across plenty of marvellous details. That is why going there by bike is a brilliant idea. You can not notice these things going by bus or another vehicle. There are bike rentals downtown. Grab one and explore the whole coastline of Reykjavik from downtown by Harpa Concert Hall to the tip of Seltjarnarnes peninsula. There, the bird-watching area Grotta smoothly passes into rocks, dunes and vistas of Mount Esja.

Walking down the street, you may meet a seemingly abandoned baby napping outside in Reykjavik. Due to the low crime rate, parents usually leave the strolls with sleeping infants in the fresh air and run their errands.
