Activity itinerary

Hallgrimskirkja

Hallgrímskirkja is Reykjavík’s most iconic church, inspired by Iceland’s basalt columns formed by cooling lava. Designed by Guðjón Samúelsson, its towering spire and wings dominate the skyline. Inside, the minimalist expressionist design features a lofty nave and striking pipe organ. Visitors can go up the observation tower for sweeping views of Reykjavík, the surrounding mountains, and the bay. While not traditional Gothic architecture, elements like the cylindrical sanctuary have been likened to Viking‑age forms, reflecting Iceland’s cultural heritage.

Parliament House (Althingishus)

Parliament House in Reykjavík is the seat of Iceland’s Alþingi, one of the oldest parliamentary institutions in the world, tracing its foundation back to 930 AD. The façade of the building features carvings in low relief depicting the four guardian spirits, specifically a dragon, a great bird (often interpreted as an eagle or vulture), a giant, and a bull.

Skólavörðustígur Rainbow Street

Rainbow Street in Reykjavík was painted in rainbow colours in 2015 to celebrate Reykjavik Pride and has become a symbol of inclusion and diversity in the city.

Sun Voyager

Sun Voyager (Sólfar) is a striking steel sculpture along Reykjavik’s waterfront, resembling a sleek ship but symbolising imagination, hope, and exploration rather than Viking history. Visitors often stop here to admire one of Reykjavík’s most memorable waterfront scenes, where the sculpture, sea, and distant mountains come together in a setting that feels both peaceful and dramatic. The sculpture perfectly combines art, mythology, and the natural beauty of the area, encouraging reflection on dreams and adventure.

Lake Tjornin

Tjörnin, is a calm and scenic lake in the heart of Reykjavík, beloved for its peaceful setting and abundant birdlife. Originally part of a sea lagoon separated from the ocean by a gravel ridge around 1200 years ago, it now lies centrally in the city next to Reykjavík City Hall and parks. Visitors enjoy watching swans, ducks, and geese, strolling the paths around the water, and crossing the bridge that spans part of the pond. More than just a scenic stop, Tjörnin offers a relaxing pause in the heart of the capital and a chance to experience Reykjavík at its most gentle and inviting.
