Great place to try different food. It's often busy and that's the charm. It's perfect to go there and order from different spots but sit at the same table. Highly recommend all the dishes at "Skál".

Another hip and cool swimming pool to hang out in. Whatever the weather, it's always nice to hang out in the hot tube. Go for a swim, steam in the sauna, cool off in the cold tub and relax in the hot tub. Each trip costs 900 kr/isk, but if you buy a 10 trip card you get each trip for 460 kr/isk.
