Highlights

Althingishúsid

Althingishúsid or The Parliament House is a classical 19th-century structure which stands by Austurvöllur in central Reykjavík, Iceland. It houses Althingi, the Icelandic parliament. The building was designed by Danish architect Ferdinand Meldahl and built using hewn dolerite from 1880 to 1881. Althingishúsid has also housed the Icelandic National Library and Antiquaries Collection, and later the Icelandic National Gallery.

Bessastadir

Bessastadir is today the official residence of the President of Iceland and is situated in Álftanes, not far from the capital city, Reykjavík

Hafnarfjordur

Hafnarfjordur is a port town located only 10 km south of Reykjavík. Being the third largest city in Iceland, it is still one of the most quiet and peacefull places. However there are plenty of attractions to visit here not to mention its great location that makes Hafnarfjordur even more attractive for tourists. Several annual events such as the Bright days festival and the Viking festival are also kept here.

Hallgrímskirkja

Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran (Church of Iceland) parish church in Reykjavík, Iceland. At 74.5 metres high, it is the largest church in Iceland and among the tallest structures in the country. The church is named after the Icelandic poet and clergyman Hallgrímur Pétursson (1614–1674), author of the Passion Hymns.

Perlan Museum

Perlan is a prominent landmark in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavík. It is situated on the top of Oskjuhlíd hill. What was originally a cluster of hot water tanks was in 1991 converted to a building open to the public. It hosts an exhibition, a planetarium, an observation deck, and a restaurant.

Reykjavik

Reykjavik, on the coast of Iceland, is the country's capital and largest city. It's home to the National and Saga museums, tracing Iceland’s Viking history. The striking concrete Hallgrimskirkja church and rotating Perlan glass dome offer sweeping views of the sea and nearby hills. Exemplifying the island’s volcanic activity is the geothermal Blue Lagoon spa, near the village of Grindavik.

Reykjavík's City Hall

Reykjavík's City Hall is situated by the Tjörnin (City Pond) in Reykjavík. It houses the offices of the mayor of Reykjavík and a large 3D map of Iceland. The city hall is sometimes used for art exhibitions, functions or live music performances. The building was constructed in 1992 following an international competition won by architects Studio Granda.

The Sun Voyager

The Sun Voyager is a sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason, located next to the Saebraut road in Reykjavík, Iceland. Sun Voyager is described as a dreamboat or an ode to the Sun. The artist intended it to convey the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress, and freedom.
