Álftanes is a town in Iceland, about 10 kilometers from the capital Reykjavik. The town stretches along the Bessastaðatjörn marine lake, where the official residence of the President of Iceland, Bessastaðir, is located. Álftanes has a rich history, being one of Iceland's first colonized territories. Over the centuries, the peninsula has become an important part of the country's history, hosting the 12th-century saga writer Snorri Sturluson. Today, Álftanes is an interesting tourist destination, with points of interest such as the Bessastaðir church, which can be visited, and the shores of Lake Bessastaðatjörn offering panoramic views of the surrounding towns of Garðabær and Kópavogur. Visitors can also take advantage of bus links to get around the region, and Keflavík international airport is around 40 kilometers from the city center.
