Itinerar

  1. Oprirea 1

    10 min

    Ingólfur Arnarson is remembered as the first permanent Norse settler of Iceland. According to tradition, he founded Reykjavík in the 9th century after choosing the place where his high-seat pillars came ashore. His statue on Arnarhóll hill connects the city with Iceland’s settlement story, early Norse identity, and national memory.

  2. Oprirea 2

    10 min

    Forsætisráðuneytið, the Prime Minister’s Office, is housed in Government House, known locally in Icelandic as Stjórnarráðshúsið. Built in the 18th century as a prison, the building later became a centre of Icelandic administration. Its modest white façade on Lækjargata reflects Reykjavík’s political history, from Danish rule to modern self-government.

  3. Vatnsberinn (Water Carrier)

    10 min

    The Water Carrier, known locally in Icelandic as Vatnsberinn, is a sculpture by Ásmundur Sveinsson in central Reykjavík. Created in the 1930s and later cast in bronze, it honours the water carriers who once supplied the town before modern infrastructure changed daily life. Its strong, balanced form reflects labour, endurance, and the memory of old Reykjavík.

  4. The Icelandic Punk Museum

    10 min

    The Icelandic Punk Museum, known locally in Icelandic as Pönksafn Íslands, is a small underground museum on Bankastræti in Reykjavík. Set in a former public toilet, it traces Iceland’s punk and new wave scene from the late 1970s onward. Posters, photographs, instruments, recordings, and band stories reflect the raw, rebellious energy that helped shape Reykjavík’s modern music culture.

  5. Hallgrimskirkja

    Trecere fără oprire

    Hallgrímskirkja is Reykjavík’s most recognizable church. Designed by architect Guðjón Samúelsson and completed in 1986, it was inspired by Iceland’s basalt lava formations and dramatic natural landscapes. Its tall tower, pale concrete façade, and central position make it a symbol of modern Reykjavík and Icelandic national identity.

  6. The Einar Jonsson Sculpture Museum (Listasafn Einars Jonssonar)

    Trecere fără oprire

    The Einar Jónsson Museum is dedicated to Iceland’s pioneering sculptor Einar Jónsson. Opened in 1923, it was the country’s first public art museum in its own building. Its symbolic sculptures, former artist’s home, and sculpture garden connect Reykjavík with Icelandic national art and early 20th-century cultural identity.

  7. Oprirea 7

    10 min

    The Leif Eriksson Monument, known locally in Icelandic as Leifsstyttan, stands in front of Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavík. Created by American sculptor Alexander Stirling Calder, it was a gift from the United States to Iceland in 1930. The statue honours Leifur Eiríksson, the Norse explorer associated with the first European voyages to North America.

  8. Oprirea 8

    10 min

    Vampire Mural is a striking piece of street art on Laugavegur in central Reykjavík. The mural is often linked with the city’s lively urban-art scene and its taste for bold, surreal imagery. Its gothic figure, pop-art mood, and saga-inspired reference connect contemporary Reykjavík with storytelling, music, and myth.

  9. Sun Voyager

    10 min

    The Sun Voyager, known locally in Icelandic as Sólfarið, is a steel sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason on Reykjavík’s waterfront. Unveiled in 1990, it resembles a dreamlike Viking ship but was conceived as an ode to the sun, exploration, hope, and freedom. Its open form, sea-facing position, and mountain backdrop make it one of the city’s most poetic modern landmarks.

  10. Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre

    Trecere fără oprire

    Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre, known locally in Icelandic as Harpa tónlistar- og ráðstefnuhús, is one of Reykjavík’s major modern landmarks.

    Wind Harp, known locally in Icelandic as Himinglæva, is a stainless-steel sculpture by Icelandic artist Elín Hansdóttir outside Harpa in Reykjavík.

    Steam locomotive Minor, known locally as Minør, is a preserved narrow-gauge engine from the Reykjavík Harbour Railway. Built in Germany in 1892 and brought to Iceland in 1913, it helped carry stone for the construction of Reykjavík harbour. The locomotive reflects a rare chapter of Icelandic railway history, when two small engines served the city’s growing waterfront.
