Before heading to the attractions and tourist spots in Reykjavik, it is a good idea to acquire useful details such as the exact location and opening hour of each one. For this purpose, guests are encouraged to visit the Tourist Information Centre in the city. Located in Adalstraeti, this information center is found within a beautifully restored timber house. It is therefore a relatively good tourist attraction in itself.

The information center presents many recommendations and sets of options in terms of lodging, restaurants and food shops, different types of tours, major and upcoming attractions, and places to experience Reykjavik’s well-known night life. Directions to all the said places are given in detail by the establishment’s friendly staffs. The employees in the center are also ready to help everyone in booking his or her hotel room and day trips within and around the Golden Circle. In addition, guests may pick up several pamphlets and brochures provided by the center which showcase Reykjavik’s yearly events such as marathons and music festivals, as well as a list of the city’s major sites of interest.

Aside from the aforementioned items and services, the Reykjavik Tourist Card can also be purchased from this center. Available in various types depending on the number of hours it is valid, this card enables its holder to have free entrance to museums, thermal pools, and zoos in the city. Moving on, other services of the center are trip planning assistance and foreign currency conversion.
