The Church of <strong>Hallgr\u00edmskirkja<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have ever seen images of this spectacular monument, you will have failed to appreciate the genius and uniqueness of <strong>Hallgr\u00edmskirkja<\/strong> Church, a unique monument to see in Reykjav\u00edk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situated in the important Austurv\u00f6llur square, the church is named after Hallgr\u00edmskirkja, a famous Icelandic poet. The square is also home to a statue recognising Leif Eriksson, commemorating the creation of Iceland&#8217;s parliament. If you decide to visit the quirky church, a walk around the surrounding area is a fantastic option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The popular church has a design reminiscent of the basalt formations so common in this country. This Lutheran church is a unique construction, which has a solemn air and its interior is well-lit thanks to its beautiful windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission is free and the church is open from 09:00 to 17:00 (the tower closes at 16:30) from October to April, while from May to September the church is open from 09:00 to 21:00 (and the tower closes half an hour earlier)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although entry is free, access to the bell tower is about \u20ac7 at the exchange rate. Remember the country&#8217;s currency is the Icelandic kr\u00f3na. The climb is absolutely worth it, as it will offer you one of the best views of the entire city. At the top of the 74-metre tower you&#8217;ll catch a glimpse of the rows of colourful houses that crowd down to the coastline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"29527\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/iceland\/things-to-do-in-reykjavik\/attachment\/trip-to-reykjavik-iceland\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Trip-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Trip-to-Reykjavik-Iceland\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Trip-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Trip-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"29527\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Trip-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Trip to Reykjav\u00edk Iceland\" class=\"wp-image-29527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Trip-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Trip-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Trip-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Views from Hallgr\u00edmskirkja Church in Reykjav\u00edk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"29528\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/iceland\/things-to-do-in-reykjavik\/attachment\/travel-to-reykjavik-iceland\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Travel-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Travel-to-Reykjavik-Iceland\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Travel-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Travel-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"29528\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Travel-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Travel to Reykjav\u00edk Iceland\" class=\"wp-image-29528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Travel-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Travel-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Travel-to-Reykjavik-Iceland.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Views from the water in Reykjavik<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Trip to Reykjav\u00edk Iceland @unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-laugavegur-a-unique-site-to-see-in-reykjavik-iceland\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Laugavegur-a-unique-site-to-see-in-Reykjavik-Iceland\"><\/span>2. Laugavegur, a unique site to see in Reykjavik Iceland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrasting with the spectacular Hallgr\u00edmskirkja, another must-see in Reykjav\u00edk is Laugavegur. One of the most modern and colourful neighbourhoods in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The streets of Laugavegur are full of street art, and this has become the neighbourhood&#8217;s hallmark. In addition to the various entertainment and dining venues, the main street even has a quirky museum filled with phallic representations of mammals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another street to check out in the area is Skolavordustigur, which intersects with the main street of Laugavegur and is lined with a wealth of local shops where you can enjoy the local atmosphere. These streets are lined with impressive facades, with a wealth of patterns and visual effects that leave no one indifferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-lake-tjorn\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Lake-Tjorn\"><\/span>3.

It is the perfect place to enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in all of Reykjav\u00edk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-the-church-of-landakot\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-The-Church-of-Landakot\"><\/span>4. The Church of Landakot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing our list of quirky sights to see in the city of Reykjav\u00edk in Iceland, we come across the Landakot Church, a Catholic cathedral that stands in stark contrast to other churches in Reykjav\u00edk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its neo-Gothic-influenced fa\u00e7ade instantly grabs visitors&#8217; attention, hinting that its interior is also a true architectural marvel, and clearly, you won&#8217;t go wrong in assuming it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re visiting Reykjav\u00edk, we recommend wandering the city streets until you find this secluded building, as you won&#8217;t be disappointed. What&#8217;s more, access is completely free and it&#8217;s open practically all year round. It&#8217;s almost a miracle that it goes so unnoticed, so you can enjoy it without the crowds of visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-the-sun-traveller\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-The-Sun-Traveller\"><\/span>5. The Sun Traveller<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoyed the peculiar and original shape of Hallgr\u00edmskirkja church&#8217;s design as much as we did, you can&#8217;t leave without visiting the unique sculpture of the Sun Traveller, by artist J\u00f3n Gunnar \u00c1rnason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sculpture is a work of art that has gradually become one of the most memorable symbols to see in Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland. The artwork depicts, in a unique way, a Viking warrior ship structure&nbsp;and tries to evoke the history of Iceland. The sculpture faces out to sea, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with Faxafl\u00f3i Bay in front, making it an almost obligatory stop when strolling through Reykjav\u00edk&#8217;s port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-faxafloi-bay-and-reykjavik-harbour\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Faxafloi-Bay-and-Reykjavik-harbour\"><\/span>6.

businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, in addition to all of the above, for art and culture lovers, in the immediate vicinity of the harbour is the Maritime Museum and also the Museum of the Aurora

Fares therefore range from \u20ac360 to \u20ac700, depending on a number of factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you arrive in Keflavik, it&#8217;s about 40km to the city of Reykjav\u00edk. There are different ways to get there, such as different bus services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The express service drops you off directly at the hotel and you can catch the next bus if you miss the one you&#8217;ve booked. There is also the option of the public bus, which will take you to the city centre in just over an hour. If you&#8217;re planning to travel around the rest of the country during your trip, you may also want to consider renting a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-and-do-around-reykjavik\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-and-do-around-Reykjavik\"><\/span>What to see and do around Reykjav\u00edk?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"656\" data-attachment-id=\"29524\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/iceland\/things-to-do-in-reykjavik\/attachment\/the-northern-lights-reykjavik\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Northern-Lights-Reykjavik.jpeg?fit=1024%2C656&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,656\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The-Northern-Lights-Reykjavik\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Northern-Lights-Reykjavik.jpeg?fit=300%2C192&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Northern-Lights-Reykjavik.jpeg?fit=1024%2C656&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Northern-Lights-Reykjavik.jpeg?resize=1024%2C656&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Northern Lights Reykjav\u00edk\" class=\"wp-image-29524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Northern-Lights-Reykjavik.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Northern-Lights-Reykjavik.jpeg?resize=300%2C192&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/The-Northern-Lights-Reykjavik.jpeg?resize=768%2C492&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Buroras borealis to see in Reykjavik, Iceland @unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-excursion-to-see-the-northern-lights\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Excursion-to-see-the-Northern-Lights\"><\/span>Excursion to see the Northern Lights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are travelling to Reykjav\u00edk in the period from April to September, the best thing to do is to go on a tour to try to spot the stunning Northern Lights and if you can, even capture them on your camera lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These meteorological phenomena are something unique to see in all the land, so if you have the chance, going on one of these excursions is a truly unique experience.
