Cruising is to be found in Reykjavik as in every major city around the world but in recent years it has practically disappeared as old cruising grounds tourist had read about in the gay guide book Spartacus have changed or disapeared as the city evolves. Spartacus is notorious for publishing out of date information.

Swimming pools are very popular in Iceland and some of them are frequented by gay Icelanders. Spartacus mentions the sauna in the Vesturbaejarlaug as a cruising area in the past but it´s important to note that these are public facilities so please be very discreet.
