4. Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran church, found on top of the Skólavörðuhæð hill in the center of Reykjavík. At 74.5 meters (245 feet) tall, it is the tallest church in Iceland, and its tower gives a spectacular panoramic scene over the city. The church was designed by one of Iceland's most celebrated architects, Guðjón Samúelsson, who is said to have sought inspiration for his expressionistic design from elements of the Icelandic landscape. The church took 41 years to develop, with building starting in 1945 and finishing in 1986. Outside the church stands one of the most important statues of one of Iceland's most legendary Viking, Leifur Eiríksson, by American sculptor Alexander Stirling Calder; Eiríksson was a Norse adventurer from Iceland who discovered the continent of North America in the year 1000, more than half a century before Christopher Columbus. The tower can be reached via a lift.

5. Perlan ('The Pearl') is a museum and rotating glass roof that stands on top of Öskjuhlíð Hill in Reykjavík; circled by the Öskjuhlíð park, it is one of Reykjavik's most unique landmarks. The site was built on six water tanks that stored 24 million liters of Reykjavík's hot water. Architect Ingimundur Sveinsson originally designed the construction in 1991; the hot water storage tanks that had stood on top of Öskjuhlíð since the mid-20th-century were modernized when the hemispherical glass dome was added on top. The project was primarily curated by the respected politician Davíð Oddsson during his time as mayor of Reykjavík. At night, the water tanks are ignited by floodlights that illuminate the building for all of the city to see. On top of the dome signals the airplanes flying to and from the nearby Reykjavík Domestic Airport.

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.
