Did you know that salmon can be caught in Reykjavík? Not exactly in the center but still in the city, in the river Elliðaá. The river's valley, Elliðaárdalur,is an extremely popular area for fishing (permit costs), walking, jogging, biking and even horseback riding. Another one of my personal favorites and most precious hot spot in Iceland.
If you have a car, you can take the direction for getting out of Reykjavík. After you’ve crossed the Elliðaábridge and are driving up the slope called Ártúnsbrekka, you turn to the right.
Next you take a left turn and follow a road called Rafstöðvarvegur. But only for a few meters. You will soon see walking paths and small parking spaces where people park their cars while walking.
