There are no mountains in Reykjavik. The city is located on the southwest coast of Iceland and is surrounded by a rugged coastline and volcanic landscapes, but there are no mountains within the immediate vicinity of the city. However, there are several mountains located a short drive away from Reykjavik, including Mount Esja and Mount Akrafjall, which offer stunning views of the surrounding area.
