Friðheimar is not really a restaurant, it is a food experience inside a geothermal heated greenhouse. There you can eat tomato soup inside the greenhouse and watch how the tomatoes are growing. Very highly recommended! Please note that it is popular and you might have to book a table in advance.

The secret lagoon is one of the oldest swimming pools in Iceland and was just renovated a few years ago. It is a beautiful location surrounded by hot springs. It is open every day from 11-22, I especially enjoy going in the evening, then there is less people in the lagoon and you can see the stars in the winter and setting sun in the summers.
