- Hallgrimskirkja - Basalt often forms in unusual geometric, pillar-like shapes in nature! You can see impressive 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 is a beloved children’s book character. In his debut adventure, he is an ordinary rodent who stumbles into a music hall. Enchanted by the music, he stays and embarks on numerous adventures within the grand hall, all set to stirring orchestral music.
- Ingólfur Arnarson - According to Viking legend, dragon heads were used to ward off enemies and connect mystically with 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 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, 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.
