Settlement and Egils Saga Exhibition Ticket
Well-crafted exhibits
Well thought-out exhibit spaces that, when viewed using the easy-to-use audio guide (which offers narration in about a dozen languages) were really informative in providing the history of Iceland's settlement, and in illustrating the life of Egil and his family who lived nearby, based on the old sagas. The reception area includes a nice gift shop with a cool architectural feature -- it has been built against a rock-face which juts right into the shop space itself. Rock in all its volcanic forms is so present in the Icelandic landscape and would have been a key part (hurdle) of the settlement experience 1200 years ago, so we appreciated it as an appropriate yet unexpected touch to the building. The toilets on site were free, and they were clean and bright but could benefit from a bit of refreshing (the stall in one would not lock and the seat was defective in another). There is a cafe attached to the museum which looked nice and smelled very good but we didn't stay to eat. On one side of the Settlement Centre is the sea and on the other is convenient parking. Recommend and would return again.

Great falls
Pretty falls. There are several falls to view so walk the loop to see them all. Good views from the top also. Worth the visit
