Hlíðar
I was really surprised at how much graffiti there is in Reykjavik. Some of it is really artful, some not so much. This is just off Laugavegur, the main street through the downtown party district.

Holt

While Holt isn't home to many top sights, Reykjavik Harbour and Laugavegur are some notable places to visit nearby.
