The Square is in front of Center Hotels Plaza, Aðalstræti 6. The Square is at the beginning of Austurstræti (Austurstræti 1). If you walk down Laugavegur (The main shopping street), please continue until you come to the square, always walking straight down until you can't continue further. Don't go to the statue of Ingólfur Arnarsson or the statue of Jon Sigurdsson at Austurvöllur, as that is not the starting point.
