Kópavogur is brimming with life and culture. Brighten your day by starting with a stroll through Rainbow Street downtown. Then, stop by the Gerðarsafn Art Museum to immerse yourself in the contemporary art world of Kópavogur.
Perched on the hill, the old Kópavogskirkja church offers an exceptional panorama of the city. This emblematic heritage of Kópavogur was built between 1958 and 1962 and is reflected in modernist architecture. The Smáratorg Tower also symbolizes the municipality. It is the tallest building in Iceland and opened in 2008.
Swimming in the geothermal pools of Salalaug, Kópavogs, or Boðaþingi is also an activity to be expected. As Kópavogur is not far from the capital Reykjavik, mark your visit with a relaxing break at the Sky Lagoon, where the sea meets the sky. This thermal spa is located on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Take advantage of this moment to admire a beautiful sunset and contemplate the magnificent spectacle of the dancing Northern Lights.
If you go a little further from the city, you will have the opportunity to discover geysers, including the Strókur, which is located in Perlan. Visit the Natural History Museum to learn more about the geology of Kópavogur. ◄
