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 0.8 km away (air distance)

A circuit of the pond takes about twenty minutes, which makes it an easy break between the museums and shops nearby. Spring and early summer bring the most birds, including Arctic terns and their chicks; you are asked not to overfeed the ducks with bread. In winter the surface often freezes, and locals skate on the ice.

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.
