About Reykjavik

Reykjavík ist die nördlichste Hauptstadt eines Staates, eine bunte, kompakte Stadt voller Kunst und Musik am Tor zu Islands Vulkanlandschaften.

Die markante Hallgrímskirkja, deren Turm von Basaltsäulen inspiriert ist, ragt über Straßen mit bunt bemalten Häusern auf. Unten am Hafen schimmert die glasfassadige Konzerthalle Harpa auf dem Wasser, und die Skulptur Sun Voyager blickt über das Meer zum Berg Esja. Die Laugavegur, die Haupteinkaufsstraße, ist von Designläden, Cafés und Bars gesäumt.
