Ráðhús Reykjavíkur is the Town Hall. It is located next to the Tjörnin (the pond).
There is a large 3D map of the country which is a good place for groups to go for a photo. It is called the Iceland Replica or Íslandskortið.
The Iceland Replica is located in the west side of Tjarnarsalur except when the hall is rented for events. The replica has always been a major attraction for both domestic and international visitors.
The Iceland Replica was built primarily using maps from the U.S. Army Map Service series C762 from 1948, which were created from aerial photographs the U.S. military took over Iceland between August and September 1945 and through October 1946. This American map set includes a total of 269 maps at a scale of 1:50,000, with each map sheet covering about 435 square kilometres of land.

Þórður P. Þorbjarnarson, City Engineer, came up with the idea to create this replica.
It opens at 8am.
There are some toilets by the door on the lake side of the building.
