Walking the streets is completely free, and most of the historic exteriors cost nothing to admire. Skip paid guided tours and instead download a free self-guided audio walk, then splurge on one museum pass if you want interiors.

- Wear grippy boots from October through April, the cobblestones turn to sheet ice and locals are visibly amused by sliding tourists.
- The corrugated iron houses photograph best in the golden hour when the light catches the ridged metal at an angle.
- Skip the main drag where tour buses drop people, duck into the residential lanes behind it for the real character.
- Bring a thermos of coffee in winter and sit by the lake, the steam mixed with your breath makes for a proper Icelandic moment.
