Hallgrimskirkja - Basalt often forms in unique geometric, pillar-like shapes in nature! Discover stunning examples of basalt on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula tour or the Volcanic Beaches tour.
-
Sun Voyager - At first glance, one might think this sculpture is a Viking Ship replica. After all, this is Viking territory and it resembles a ship! However, this was not the artist’s intention.
-
Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre - Maximus, a beloved children’s book character, embarks on his first adventure as an ordinary rodent who stumbles into a music hall. Enchanted by the music, he stays and experiences many adventures in the vast hall, all set to the backdrop of stirring orchestral music.
-
Ingólfur Arnarson - According to Viking legend, dragon heads were used to intimidate foes and establish a mystical link to the gods, offering protection from evil spirits of land and sea. Viking ships had dragon heads carved into their masts, but a law required their removal before returning home.
-
Parliament House (Althingishus) - The dragon, eagle, giant, and bull are the guardians of Iceland. Each relief symbolizes the protection of a specific region: the dragon guards the Eastfjords, the eagle watches the north, the bull shields the west, and the giant oversees the Reykjanes peninsula in the southwest.
-
Reykjavik City Hall - For a delightful hidden gem, look for the green wall. Notice how City Hall is split into two buildings? Find the wall in the space between them.
-
Lake Tjornin - Fishing here isn’t an option. According to an old tale, two elderly women lived on opposite sides of the lake and used its waters for laundry.
-
Reykjavík Junior College - Known as Menntaskolinn, or the Old Grammar School, it truly is ancient… nearly a thousand years old! Menntaskolinn’s origins date back to 1056.
