Before you go
What the guide flags for older travellers.
- Flat centre but ice in winter. (Good for · verdict: ok)
- The centre is compact and fairly flat, but ice, wind and the hill to Hallgrímskirkja slow wheelchairs and strollers in winter. Newer buildings, Harpa, buses and the big museums have lifts and ramps; older shops and cafés often have a step. (Accessibility · summary)
