THINGS TO DO

11 | Tómas Guðmundsson (1901-1983) Tómas was a prolific writer and author but he’s best known for his poetry. At a time when city life was thought to be corrupting Iceland’s youth, Tómas wrote beautiful neoromantic poetry about the many attractions of Reykjavík. Today, the city of Reykjavík annually awards promising poets the Tómas Guðmundsson award and you can join his likeness on his bench by the pond, hoping for inspiration.
