Reykjavík is located by the sea and so we have quite a few small islands close to the city. The biggest and most accessible one is Viðey.  During the summertime, a ferry goes every hour to the island - so you are able to explore, walk around and enjoy the beautiful scenery.  During your visit to Viðey, you should stop by the Viðey House - a beautiful building that is the first one built out of stone in Iceland with a cosy little restaurant.

One other important spot that is a must-see is the Imagine Peace Tower by Yoko Ono that represents peace on Earth. Every year, the Imagine Peace Tower lights up the evening sky in Reykjavík from October 9th (Lennon's day of birth) through December 8th (Lennon´s passing).
