Soak in a geothermal pool like a local

Bathing in naturally heated water is the heart of Icelandic culture, and you don't need the famous, pricey Blue Lagoon to do it. The city's neighbourhood geothermal pools, like Laugardalslaug, cost a fraction of the price and are where locals come to soak, chat and unwind, hot pots and all. If you want the iconic experience, the Sky Lagoon near the city offers ocean views for less than the Blue Lagoon. Either way, a soak under an Icelandic sky is unforgettable. We'll compare the local pools against the premium lagoons so you can choose what suits your budget.
