Begin your day at Harpa Concert Hall, an architectural masterpiece, where you can attend a concert or exhibition depending on the schedule. The glass facade of the building reflects the surrounding city, as well as the views of the harbor.
This iconic church is not only a landmark of the city, but also an observatory tower at the top of the building offers panoramic views of Reykjavik. Its distinctive design is inspired by Iceland's volcanic landscape, and the interior is just as impressive as the exterior.
Travel back in time to the Viking Age at the Settlement Exhibition. This archaeological museum showcases the remains of the first Viking settlement in Reykjavik, as well as the innovative technology used to excavate the site.
Located in a charming historic building, the Reykjavik City Museum is the perfect place to learn about the history and culture of Iceland's capital. Interactive exhibits offer insights into the city's development, and authentic artifacts help bring the past to life.
End your day with some shopping at Laugavegur, the city's main shopping street. With its colorful buildings, hip cafes, and trendy shops, this area is the perfect place to find unique souvenirs and gifts.
If you have more time, consider visiting the whale watching tours at the Old Harbor. You can also enjoy some delicious Icelandic cuisine at the numerous restaurants of the Marina area, which is only 10-minute walk from Harpa Concert Hall. If you have less time, skip either Reykjavik City Museum or Laugavegur street as they are located at opposite ends of the city.
