Leifr Eiricsson, sometimes called the Leif Eiricsson Memorial, is statue of Norse explorer Leif Erikson created by American artist Alexander Stirling Calder. The artwork was commissioned by the United States government as a gift to the Icelandic people for the 1,000th anniversary of the Alþingi in 1930. The statue was unveiled on July 17, 1932, in Reykjavík, Iceland atop a hill overlooking the city. A second casting of the statue was made for the Icelandic exhibit at the 1939 New York World's Fair; this casting currently stands at the Mariners' Museum and Park in Newport News, Virginia. The statue's plaster model is part of the Smithsonian Institution's collection. As an iconic image of Leif, Calder's statue has inspired a number of other artworks, and its image has been reproduced on stamps, souvenirs, and so forth.

Laugavegur (Icelandic pronunciation: ​[ˈlœiːɣaˌvɛːɣʏr̥]) is the primary commercial artery of downtown Reykjavík, Iceland and one of the oldest shopping streets. The name means "wash road", as it used to lead to the hot springs in Laugardalur where in olden times the women of Reykjavík took their laundry for washing. It was constructed in 1885 as a result of town council's decision. It experienced economic setbacks mostly because shopping malls opened elsewhere, most notably Kringlan that opened in 1987 and Smáralind that opened in 2001. It maintains the charm of a historical shopping street and is still home to the more exclusive stores in Iceland. It is also home to many bars, nightclubs and restaurants. On Friday and Saturday nights, the street is often filled with people all night long.

Hegningarhúsið (Icelandic pronunciation: ​[ˈhɛkniŋkarˌhuːsɪθ], "The Penalty House") at Skólavörðustígur 9 in Reykjavík was a prison run by the Icelandic Prison Service. Built in 1872 by the designs of G. Ch. W. Klentz, it was the oldest prison in Iceland. All operations in Hegningarhúsið ceased on 1 June 2016. The origins of the Icelandic phrase "going to the stone" (fara í steininn) is purportedly due to the stone interiors of this prison.It was last used as a reception prison, where prisoners stayed for a short period of time when at the beginning of serving a sentence. The house was designated as historic property in 1978.There were 16 prison cells in Hegningarhúsið, small and narrow with poor ventilation. The cells were without toilets and sinks.

Sundhöll Reykjavíkur (lit. "Reykjavík Swimming Palace", often shortened to Sundhöllin, but that name can also apply to other indoor swimming pools in Iceland), is the oldest purpose-built indoor swimming pool in Reykjavík. It was designed by the Icelandic architect Guðjón Samúelsson and opened in 1937 at Barónsstígur, close to the elementary school Austurbæjarskóli. Along with Austurbæjarskóli and Landspítali, it was one of the first buildings in Reykjavík that made use of geothermal water that the public utility Laugaveitan pumped via a 3 km long pipe from Laugardalur. Originally the building was supposed to be finished in 1930, but work stalled due to the Great Depression. The building's exterior is a minimalist white that is almost Art Deco in style with tall narrow rectangular windows. Inside arches on the south side of the pool and the tiled changing rooms are other notable features. The main pool is 25 by 10 metres (82 by 33 ft) and with a depth from 0.9 to 4 metres (2 ft 11 in to 13 ft 1 in). There are also hot tubs, and Guðjón's Hallgrímskirkja can be seen from the sundeck.When the pool opened it soon became the main place for teaching swimming, which had become obligatory for schoolchildren in 1927. It also became the main training pool for poolsports. Initially there were gender-segregated days each week when people could swim naked. The swimming pool had an important function as a public bath when bathrooms were still uncommon in Reykjavík. In 2010 Icelandic filmmaker Héðinn Halldórsson made the documentary film The Palace (Höllin) about Sundhöllin and the people who frequented it at the time. The film follows a group of elderly people who attend workout sessions in the pool early in the morning, and the staff who receive them. In 2017, after a year of renovations, a new reception and an outdoor pool were added to Sundhöllin. The outdoor area was designed by VA Arkitektar. It has unheated changing areas and showers, a 25 meter long 5 lane swimming pool (much shallower than the indoor pool), a playpool, a large hot tub with massage spouts, a cold tub with water that is around 10 °C, and a sauna. New changing rooms for women were added below the reception, and the old ones closed for renovation. The new arrangement was criticised as women who use the indoor pool now had to cross the outdoor area first. The only indoor passageway from the new changing rooms was through the (now closed) old changing rooms. The old women's changing rooms were reopened in March 2022. In 2022 the city had to pay 3.5 million Icelandic krona in damages to a woman who fell and broke an arm on a mat that had been placed in the outdoor area in 2018. The surface has since been treated to make it less slippery.
