Where to Stay in the Capital Region of Iceland

The Capital Region of Iceland is home to Reykjavik and its neighbouring towns, and it is where the majority of visitors spend at least part of their trip. With the widest range of hotels, guesthouses and apartments in the country, it is the most convenient base for restaurants, culture, nightlife and day tours to the Golden Circle, the South Coast and the Blue Lagoon.

Reykjavik City Centre

The city centre puts you within walking distance of Hallgrimskirkja, Laugavegur shopping street, museums and the harbour. It offers the greatest choice of hotels and is ideal for travellers who want to explore on foot.

Downtown and Laugavegur

Staying downtown near Laugavegur means restaurants, bars and shops on your doorstep, perfect for a lively city break and easy evening strolls.

Reykjavik Old Harbour

The Old Harbour area is a favourite for whale watching and northern lights boat tours, with a relaxed atmosphere, seafood restaurants and easy access to the city centre.

Kopavogur

Just south of Reykjavik, Kopavogur offers good-value hotels and apartments, shopping centres and quick access to the city and the Ring Road.

Hafnarfjordur

Charming Hafnarfjordur, built among lava fields, is known for its harbour, Viking heritage and family-friendly accommodation a short drive from Reykjavik.

Gardabaer and Mosfellsbaer

These quieter suburbs suit travellers who prefer a calmer base with easy road access to both the city and the countryside.

Getting Around the Capital Region

The region is compact and well connected by road, and Keflavik Airport is about 45 minutes away. A rental car is useful for day trips, though central Reykjavik is easily walkable.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I stay in Reykjavik?
Central Reykjavik around Laugavegur and the Old Harbour is the most popular area, within walking distance of restaurants, shops, museums and tours. Suburbs like Kopavogur and Hafnarfjordur offer better value and easy road access.
Is it better to stay in central Reykjavik or the suburbs?
Stay central if you want to explore on foot and enjoy the nightlife and dining. Choose the suburbs for lower prices, easier parking and quick access to the Ring Road for day trips.
How far is Keflavik Airport from Reykjavik?
Keflavik Airport is about 45 to 50 minutes by car from central Reykjavik. Many travellers spend their first or last night nearer the airport on the Reykjanes Peninsula.
What is the best area in Reykjavik for first-time visitors?
The city centre (101 Reykjavik) is ideal for first-timers, keeping the main sights, restaurants and tour departure points within walking distance.
Are there family-friendly hotels in the Capital Region?
Yes. The Capital Region has many family-friendly hotels and apartments with larger rooms and kitchen facilities, particularly in Kopavogur, Hafnarfjordur and the suburbs.
Can I see the northern lights from Reykjavik?
The aurora is sometimes visible from Reykjavik on clear winter nights, but light pollution reduces your chances. For the best viewing, join a tour or head into the darker countryside nearby.
Do I need a car if I stay in Reykjavik?
Central Reykjavik is walkable and well served by tours, so a car is not essential for a city stay. A rental car is useful if you plan self-drive day trips around the region.
What towns are part of Iceland's Capital Region?
The Capital Region includes Reykjavik, Kopavogur, Hafnarfjordur, Gardabaer, Mosfellsbaer and Seltjarnarnes, all within a short drive of the city centre.
