In the evening, you can walk to the Sun Voyager sculpture in 4 minutes or Hallgrimskirkja church in 5 minutes, both nice for a stroll. The hotel's own bar is a good spot for a drink before heading out. For a different evening, consider the Northern Lights Bus Tour from Reykjavik with hot chocolate, or the Reykjavik Northern Lights Tour with pro aurora photos. The Old Harbour, a short walk away, is where whale watching tours depart, though those are daytime activities.
