If you have some time to kill on a sunny day, make your way to the Tjörnin, a small lake in central Reykjavík. There are nice walking paths and benches to sit on. From the lake, you can get fine views of Hallgrímskirkja and downtown Reykjavík. A nice place for a scenic picnic as well.

Directions: From the BSI bus station, walk past the Budget rent-a-car and take the pedestrian bridge running parallel to Hringbraut (not the one crossing the street towards the Airport). You will see the lake in front of you.
