Reykjavík Grapevine - 05.08.2005, Qupperneq 15

STRÆTÓ FOR TOURISTS
You’ll likely have the chance to test
out the golden chariots once or twice
on your visit.
Here’s the Grapevine’s Top 5
Places You Can Go By Public
Transport:
Mount Esja: Take the 15 as far
as you can, then hop on the 27
for a trip to the bottom of the big
mountain you can see across the fjord
from town. It’s about a three-hour
hike up and down the mountain.
Sundahöfn Harbour: The new
Route 12 or 16 will take you to
Sundahöfn Harbour, from where
you can take a short ferry ride to
Viðey Island for camping, cycling or
visiting the historic sites.
All the Museums: All the galleries
and museums in the greater
Reykjavík area are accessible by bus.
Get yourself a day pass and go crazy!
Nauthólsvík: Reykjavík’s answer to
Bondi Beach is a short walk from the
last stop of number 16.
Reynistaðavatn: You can go fishing
in Reynistaðavatn if you take Bus 25.
