Bicycling day tour across Iceland´s capital

Trip difficulty is 2 out of 5 possible. Rated: Easy

The trip starts at the Cintamani Store in the city center and we first ride to the Town Hall where we make a stop to see the huge topographical map of Iceland situated inside the hall. Then we continue towards the North Atlantic Ocean and cycle a long the coast to Nauthólsvík alcove. Nauthólsvík is the only artificially heated beach in the world and if you want you can tip your toes into the water (just so you can say you went bathing in one of the coldest oceans). Then we cycle up to the Pearl on top of the Öskjuhlíð hill. From there we will gain an unsurpassed view of the capital area and its surrounding mountains. On the way up to the Pearl we will also see a geysir, an exact replica of the original one. From the Pearl we ride downhill into the city center again and swing by the Hallgrímskirkja Church and stop at nearby café to relax. The trip then ends where it started.
