Iceland holiday FAQs
- The imposing Hallgrimskirkja church’s stepped concrete facade makes it a key modernist building that echoes Iceland’s natural landscape. This stunning Evangelical-Lutheran church is named after the 17th Century clergyman Hallgrimur Petursson, author of the Passion Hymns. Admission is free or you can climb the tower for a small fee.
- The capital’s most photographed landmark is Solfar, or the Sun Voyager sculpture. Designed in the mid-1980s by artist Jon Gunnar Arnason to commemorate the city’s bicentenary, the elegant steel structure resembles a Viking ship in a nod to Iceland’s proud seafaring history. Take your shot and on a clear day you may even be able to catch the Snaefellsnes Peninsula in the distance.
- The Harpa concert hall and conference centre is one of the city’s key landmarks. This leading social and cultural centre has won various awards and has welcomed millions of visitors since it opened in 2011. Besides a lively performance programme, it offers outstanding views of the surrounding mountains and the North Atlantic Ocean.
- Perlan Museum resembles a giant domed pearl on top of Reykjavik with stunning views of the surrounding forested Oskjuhlid hill and cityscape from its 360-degree viewing platform. The museum’s wealth of attractions includes a real indoor ice cave, a re-creation of Europe’s largest bird cliff and an exhibition on Iceland’s geology, while an immersive planetarium show captures the magic of the Northern Lights. There’s also an ice cream shop, a lovely cafe, bouncy castles and more.
- Constructed in 1885, Laugavegur is one of Reykjavik’s oldest streets and is where women used to bring laundry to be washed in nearby hot pools. Today it’s one of the capital’s leading shopping streets and is packed with hip boutiques, tourist shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. It’s also home to two fascinating museums – the Phallological Museum and the tiny Icelandic Punk Museum housed in a former underground toilet.
