Figure 1-4: Harpa Concert Hall
The architectural inspiration of the entire concert hall comes from Iceland's famous natural ecology - hexagonal columnar "basalt". It uses dozens of different colors of hexagonal glass to refract different light with the sunlight.
The entire concert hall is worth seeing and checking in!
Figure 5-6: Sun Voyager
After visiting the concert hall, walk along the seaside and you will see the place where the Vikings, the ancestors of Iceland, first landed. There is a skeleton sculpture inspired by the Icelandic Viking ship. It is one of Iceland’s signature art buildings!
Figure 7: Höfði Lighthouse Yellow lighthouse
After watching the Sun Voyager, you will see it when walking along the beach! I highly recommend that you use a scooter for transportation!
The most famous building in the city center is
Figure 8-10: Hallgrimskirkja Church
It is the largest church in Iceland, and its architectural inspiration also comes from Iceland's unique natural ecology. It is highly recommended that you visit the inside in addition to checking in outside. You can buy a ticket to the top floor observation deck and overlook the entire city. There is also a huge organ inside, and performances are held from time to time! Everyone can pay attention to this.
If you want to check in outside, I recommend you go at dusk! Because it will be backlit at noon, the orange-yellow sunlight shining on the church at dusk is really beautiful🥳
Skólavörðustígur Rainbow Street, which runs along the church, is also a very famous check-in spot! I suggest you bring a telephoto lens.

This ice cream shop is famous for its "Little Flowers" and there are many check-in spots in front of the store!
Figure 12: Bonus Piglet Supermarket
Iceland's famous affordable supermarket, you must check it out!
