- Reykjavik - The capital city of Iceland is rich in history, culture, and intriguing landmarks. Let’s embark on a journey to explore it all! We’ll take a meandering path to experience everything.
Note: This 1.6-mile tour highlights the key attractions of Reykjavik in 3-4 hours.
-
Hallgrimskirkja - Basalt, when found in nature, often forms unique geometric, pillar-like shapes. Excellent examples of such basalt can be seen on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula tour or the Volcanic Beaches tour.
-
Sun Voyager - At first glance, one might think this sculpture is a replica of a Viking Ship. After all, this is the land of the Vikings, 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, begins his adventures as an ordinary rodent who stumbles into a music hall. Enchanted by the music, he stays and embarks on numerous adventures within 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 connection to the gods, offering protection from evil spirits of both land and sea. In fact, a law required the removal of dragon heads from Viking ship masts before returning home.
-
Parliament House (Althingishus) - The dragon, eagle, giant, and bull are the spirits that protect Iceland. Each relief symbolizes the safeguarding of a specific region: the dragon guards the Eastfjords, the eagle oversees the north, the bull defends the west, and the giant watches over the Reykjanes peninsula in the southwest.
-
Reykjavik City Hall - For a delightful hidden gem that many overlook, search for the green wall. Notice how City Hall is split into two buildings? Look for the wall in the space between them.
-
Lake Tjornin - Unfortunately, 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 washing clothes.
-
Reykjavík Junior College - Known as Menntaskolinn, or the Old Grammar School, it truly is ancient, with roots dating back nearly a thousand years to 1056.
