The Reykjavik Art Museum Kjarvalsstaðir has some stunning pieces. We walked here from their other Hafnarhus location and it took about 35 minutes. The day we visited it was a little cool and rainy, yet with quality jackets, we were a-okay to walk! The art museum’s building is worth checking out for it’s spacious nature and light filled cafe. It’s built like an H, with the middle section moved up a bit. The whole inside of the building is flooded with windows to bring in…

Seawall walk in Reykjavik – if you’re in the capital of Iceland, then be sure you check out the walking path on the seawall. When we’re on vacation we walk a lot, like sometimes close to 30,000 steps. On our Toronto trip a couple of years ago, we did over 45,000 in 24 hours. Okay, the seawall – you can walk it from the harbour, or jet out if you’re in downtown. Not to worry about it being a walk out and back, since I…
