About Laugardalslaug

Laugardalslaug is a public thermal baths and swimming pool complex in the Laugardalur district of Reykjavík. It is owned by the City of Reykjavík and run by the city's Department of Sport and Leisure (ÍTR). The complex was built on its current site in 1958–1968 to a design by city architect Einar Sveinsson, opened on 1 June 1968, and was expanded in 1981–1986 and again in 2002–2005. It is the largest conventional swimming pool complex in Iceland and the most visited thermal baths in the country after the Blue Lagoon, with about 800,000 visitors in 2010.
