Old Harbour
NEIGHBOURHOOD
Largely a service harbour until recently, the Old Harbour has blossomed into a hot spot for
tourists, with several museums, volcano and Northern Lights films and worthwhile res-
taurants. Whale-watching and puffin-viewing trips depart from the pier. Photo ops abound
with views of fishing boats, Harpa concert hall and snowcapped mountains beyond. At the
time of writing there was also a freestyle summertime children's
play area
with giant
spindles and ropes, along Mýrargata.
