📍 right in the heart of Downtown Reykjavík.

  • Hallgrímskirkja & Skólavörðustígur
  • Laugavegur shopping street
  • Harpa Concert Hall & the Old Harbour
  • Austurvöllur & the Alþingi
💡
Local Tip

Most of downtown is flat and walkable, so a single stop here often puts you within reach of several attractions on foot.

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

Sun Voyager (Sólfar) 0.2 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.

Harpa Concert Hall 0.3 km away (air distance)

Opened in 2011, the building was designed by Henning Larsen Architects together with artist Ólafur Elíasson, who created the geometric glass façade. Its design draws on Iceland's basalt landscapes, and it later won the Mies van der Rohe Award for contemporary architecture. It now serves as the home of the national symphony and the opera.

Hallgrímskirkja 0.7 km away (air distance)

Take the lift up the tower for a 360° view over the colourful rooftops, the harbour and the mountains across the bay; it is one of the best vantage points in the city. Allow around an hour including the interior, check opening hours for services and concerts, and look for the statue of Leifur Eiríksson on the square outside.
