Itinerary

1. Hallgrimskirkja is a Lutheran parish church in Reykjavík, Iceland. At 74.5 meters (240 feet) high, it is the largest church in Iceland and among the tallest structures in the country. The church is named after the Icelandic poet and clergyman Hallgrimur Petursson, author of the Passion Hymn.

   30 min

2. Modern glass honeycomb concert hall & conference center, home to the national opera & symphony orchestra.

   20 min

3. Hofdi is a house in Reykjavík, Iceland, best known as the 1986 Reykjavík Summit meeting of presidents Ronald Reagan of the United States and Mikhail Gorbachev of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. That effectively was a step to the end of the Cold War.

   15 min

4. The Sun Voyager is a sculpture by Jon Gunnar Arnason, located next to the Saebraut road in Reykjavík, Iceland. Sun Voyager is described as a dreamboat or an ode to the Sun. The artist intended to convey the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress, and freedom.

   15 min

5. In the heart of Reykjavík, Oskjuhlíd Hill rises 61 meters (200 feet) above sea level. On the top of the hill stands Perlan, one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. Several exhibitions are provided at the Perlan among with a great view of Reykjavik from the observation deck.

   20 min

6. The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s most popular attractions, and it is a little wonder why. The beautiful milky-blue water is unlike anything else found in the world and starkly contrasts the surrounding black lava field and its creeping grey moss. It sits at 39°C (102°F) year-round, making it the perfect temperature for bathing. The lagoon is situated on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland, renowned for its barren landscapes and cone-shaped volcanoes. It is only a 45-minute drive from Reykjavík. That makes it the perfect first stop when arriving in Iceland or the last stop before leaving the country. Due to its good location, soothing waters, and rich skin nourishment, the Blue Lagoon became Iceland’s most visited attraction, rivaled only by the Golden Circle sightseeing tour.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.

The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.
