Laugardalshöll Arena

Laugardalsholl Arena is a multi-purpose indoor venue in Reykjavík's Laugardalur sports district, with a long-standing role in Icelandic sport and major events. The main hall accommodates around 2,300 spectators for handball and basketball, while concert configurations can increase capacity to approximately 5,500 visitors depending on the stage and floor layout. Its large enclosed space can be adapted for sporting competitions, concerts, exhibitions and other events.

Inside, the arena is designed primarily as a functional venue for large audiences, with stands that create a close connection to the playing area or stage. The enclosed setting helps generate an energetic atmosphere during sporting events and concerts, while seating, standing-floor arrangements and food and beverage services may vary according to the event.

The arena is located at Engjavegur 8, Reykjavík, Iceland, within the wider Laugardalur sports complex. Parking areas are available around the complex, and nearby bus stops allow visitors to reach the entrances with only a short walk.

Reykjavík, Iceland’s capital on the edge of the Atlantic, surprises with its energy and variety of experiences despite its compact size. The city is known for a strong cultural scene, concert nights, and lively sports atmospheres that fit naturally into its relaxed everyday rhythm. For visitors coming for tickets, the biggest advantage is that everything is “within easy reach” — from the city center to the most recognized event venues.

Getting around is centered on Strætó, the local bus network linking neighborhoods, downtown, and the key gathering points. Arrivals and transfers are often organized via BSÍ Bus Terminal, a practical hub for city and long-distance routes as well as transfers. Most international arrivals use Keflavík International Airport (KEF), while Reykjavík Airport (RKV) sits very close to the center and is useful for domestic flights; the mix of transfers, buses, and walkable routes makes reaching arenas and stadiums straightforward and predictable.

If you have time before or after an event, Reykjavík rewards you with a waterfront stroll and colorful central streets. Walk by Harpa on the shoreline, explore the Old Harbour, and catch the view at Sun Voyager, then unwind around Tjörnin and the nearby parks. For a complete feel of the city, many also choose an easy walk to Hallgrímskirkja or a short stop at local geothermal pools, making Reykjavík memorable beyond the event itself.
