Itinerary
Discover Iceland’s first art museum, a unique landmark perched atop Skólavörðuhæð hill in the heart of Reykjavík. Designed by the pioneering sculptor Einar Jónsson as both his home and creative sanctuary, the museum is a striking blend of art and architecture—his largest sculpture. Opened in 1923, it houses Jónsson’s powerful, dreamlike works and offers stunning views of the city. Step inside and experience a true cultural treasure where Icelandic heritage meets timeless creativity.

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.
Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
