-
Hallgrimskirkja - Basalt often forms in unusual geometric, pillar-like shapes in nature! Excellent examples 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 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 a typical rodent who stumbles into a music hall. Enchanted by the music, he stays and experiences many adventures in the expansive hall, all set to stirring orchestral music.
-
Ingólfur Arnarson - Viking lore tells of dragon heads used to ward off enemies and connect mystically with the gods, offering protection from evil spirits of land and sea. A law required the removal of dragon heads from ship masts before returning home.
-
Parliament House (Althingishus) - The dragon, eagle, giant, and bull are the spirits safeguarding Iceland. Each relief symbolizes protection of a specific region: the dragon for the Eastfjords, the eagle for the north, the bull for the west, and the giant for the Reykjanes peninsula in the southwest.
-
Reykjavik City Hall - For a delightful hidden gem, find the green wall. Notice how City Hall is split into two buildings? Look for the wall in the space between them.
-
Lake Tjornin - Fishing here isn’t an option. According to legend, 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, with roots dating back to 1056, nearly a thousand years ago!
