Grótta

"💎 Grótta is one of Reykjavik's hidden gems. 👉 It's just outside of downtown Reykjavik. 🚗 You can drive to the tip of the Seltjarnarnes peninsula in less than 10 minutes, or it's an hour's walk along the waterfront. 👉 Here, you’ll find the Grótta Lighthouse and nature reserve. 📸 The best photos are taken at sunrise. 💎💎💎 The ultimate hidden gem in the area was a lucky discovery. 🥶 I visited the Grótta Lighthouse on a cold February morning and found myself staring at three barefooted Icelanders. 👋 They waved me over to discover this geothermically heated foot bath. 😊 What a treat to sit at this free foot bath while looking out at the snow-covered mountains. 🚶To find the Kvika Thermal Foot Bath, head to the Grótta parking lot and walk towards the wooden shed. The foot bath is nearby. ⏰ HOURS: Always open 💰 COST: Free 🚗 PARKING: Small lot close to the lighthouse."

"This is Reykjavík's Lighthouse and it's just 5 minutes driving from the city center (around 45 minutes by foot). During the Northern Lights season, this is a popular place to see the Lights as it's further from the light pollution. However, I must say that you can see the Northern Lights from the city center, too! "
