Hallgrímskirkja

The church is named after the 17th-century pastor Hallgrímur Pétursson, the author of the Passion Hymns. The church features a stepped concrete facade, making it a masterpiece of modernism and an integral part of Iceland's landscape. Hallgrímskirkja belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church and is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland. Thousands of visitors come here daily; admission is free, but tickets to the tower cost 1000 ISK for adults and 100 ISK for children (7-16 years old). Please note that the church is active and may temporarily close for events and concerts, so keep an eye out for notices.
Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach
Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach offers hot water supplied by heating facilities, which is injected into two pools, while also allowing you to enjoy the refreshing seawater. The bay is located in the eastern part of the garden and has boundaries that limit water exchange. Although the bay is relatively open, it often experiences floods and tides, mixing seawater with geothermal water. The beach is equipped with various outdoor activity facilities, and the changing rooms and on-site services are also very complete. The summer opening hours are from May 15 to August 15, from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily; in winter, from August 16 to May 14, it is open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM and from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, on Fridays from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and on Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Harpa Concert Hall
Harpa Concert Hall is located in the center of Reykjavik and is a highly designed music and conference center. Events such as the Iceland Airwaves Music Festival and Sónar Music Festival are held here annually. Harpa's exterior is made of transparent glass, offering a beautiful view of the sea and mountains. Additionally, the word 'Harpa' means 'harp' in Icelandic culture and is used to refer to a month in modern Icelandic. In 2016, Björk held two concerts here. Even if you don't have time to enjoy a music performance, you can visit the lobby and enjoy the scenery through the glass. Harpa's presence makes Reykjavik a city full of cultural atmosphere.
Thrihnukagigur Volcano
Thrihnukagigur Volcano is located 15 kilometers from Reykjavik, situated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in Iceland. The volcano has been dormant for over 4,000 years. During its last eruption, the magma created a rare geological phenomenon where it solidified on the inner walls of the volcano instead of cooling at the crater. Today, it is the only place on Earth where visitors can explore an ancient magma chamber, offering stunning views and significant geological resources for scientific research. The volcano expedition takes about 5-6 hours, with approximately 35-40 minutes spent inside the volcano. Travelers must follow a professional team for the expedition and cannot go on their own.
