Travel: Reykjavik Seawall Walk

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 have no doubt you’ll see things from a different perspective on your way back. We stayed about 1.5 km from the harbour, so it was a great walk for us. A little windy, so wear a coat, yet that’s Reykjavik for you! Okay, photo time.

For the photos – there’s art, people, and the landscape. Take it all in.

You can see the Harpa Concert Hall way in the distance – seems far away, yet it only took us about 10 minutes to walk there. It’s wild to think how the eye can see so far and then how fast we can walk. One thing to note while walking on the Seawall is that it’s also full of bikers, so listen for the ding of the bell and get out of the way.

Oh, and be careful on the rocks – the seawall is quite stable, yet things do move! Safety first.

What’s your favourite thing to do in a new city? Walking is one of our top actions, since it’s a great way to see things slowly, but also in detail. Plus, it means we can have more snacks! Who doesn’t love snacks?! I’m a big fan of snacks, especially new ones in other countries – it’s fun to try new things.

Thanks for stopping by and happy travelling.

See you again soon.
