Reykjavík History

Hávallagata lies very close to the oldest part of Reykjavík - which is also the oldest part of human settlement in Iceland

Coffee, swim and food at Hofsvallagata

Just down the road you will find the neighbourhood swimming pool, Vesturbæjarlaug, and the local café, Kaffi Vest. The two pair well together.
