Things to Do in Hraun, Reykjavik

A lava-field commercial and residential strip in Hafnarfjörður, southwest of central Reykjavík, rather than a traditional capital neighborhood. Fjarðarhraun's shops and workshops sit on dark volcanic ground, while the old harbor, Viking-themed town center, and footpaths through mossy lava reveal why “hraun”—lava—is the place's defining word.
