Notable places within about 40 km — shown as straight-line (air) distance, not travel distance

Hallgrímskirkja 0.5 km away (air distance)

Rising above the rooftops of central Reykjavík, Hallgrímskirkja is the city's most recognisable building. Its stepped concrete tower is shaped to echo the basalt columns found across Iceland, and the white façade is visible from almost every corner of the capital. Inside, the church is plain and airy, with a huge organ dominating the hall.

Tjörnin Pond 0.7 km away (air distance)

The pond lies in a low hollow that was once outside the early town, and over the years the shoreline has been shaped and landscaped. Today it is bordered by the city hall, a church and well-known buildings, and it has been a favourite place for walks, picnics and birdwatching for generations of Reykjavík residents.

Sun Voyager (Sólfar) 1 km away (air distance)

Made by the sculptor Jón Gunnar Árnason and unveiled in 1990 for Reykjavík's 200th anniversary, it is often described as a Viking ship. The artist himself saw it as a dream boat, an ode to the sun and a symbol of hope, progress and undiscovered territory. The work was cast in steel and sits on a granite base.
