One Spectacular Day in Reykjavik
Grab this itinerary and prepare yourself for a day in the capital of Iceland.
Your trip begins on the waterfront by the Sun Voyager - a modern sculpture created by the famous Icelandic sculptor Jón Gunnar Árnason. Then, you will see the Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre, which got the European Union’s Mies van der Rohe award for contemporary architecture.
Stroll around the Lake Tjörnin which is located near the Reykjavik City Hall and several museums. National Museum of Iceland is definitely worth the visit if you want to learn about the history of the Icelandic nation and its cultural history.
After you leave the museum, go see the Church of Hallgrímur, an architectural gem of Reykjavik. Built in Expressionist style, it resembles the flow of lava and it will surely take your breath away. Climb its tower to get magnificent views of the entire city. Finish your day at the Laugardalslaug Geothermal Pool and relax.
