Reykjavík is made for exploring. It’s compact, colourful and full of places worth stopping for, especially when you’re not looking at them through a car window.

At Eyja, we have bikes available for rent at the hotel, so you can head straight out and explore Reykjavík on two wheels. No parking. No waiting for a bus. Just grab a bike and go.

See Reykjavík at Your Own Pace

From Eyja, you’re already close to the heart of the city. Cycle towards the waterfront, make your way to Harpa and the Old Harbour, explore the city centre or simply follow one of Reykjavík’s cycling paths and see where you end up.

That’s part of the fun.

A bike also gives you a little more freedom to venture beyond the usual city-centre stops. Reykjavík has beautiful coastal paths, quiet neighbourhoods and plenty of places to stop for coffee along the way.

And because the city is relatively small, you can cover quite a lot without turning your holiday into the Tour de France.

A Greener Way to Get Around

Of course, there’s another reason we like bikes.

At Eyja, sustainability guides the choices we make, but we don’t think it needs to make your holiday complicated. Quite the opposite. We like the choices that are good for the planet and make your stay better.

Cycling around Reykjavík means fewer car journeys, no fuel and no emissions while you explore. But mostly, it means fresh Icelandic air, more freedom and a much better chance of discovering somewhere you hadn’t planned to visit.

Eco without the ego. That’s more our speed.
