Where to sleep in Reykjavík — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
101 Reykjavík — downtown
Everything inside the postcode: Laugavegur's bars, the harbor, Hallgrímskirkja's rocket spire.
Old Harbour — whale-watching side
Converted warehouses, ice-cream queues and puffin boats.
Laugardalur — pool-first living
By the big geothermal pool and park, a bus ride from downtown.
Budget reality
Iceland is priced like nowhere else — guesthouses with shared baths and hostel sleeping bags are the honest hack.
