Iceland: Reykjavik Area Sightseeing
February 2, 2020 2 Comments
When we visit Iceland, we always spend a few days visiting the Reykjavik area before heading out to the countryside. We always see something new! This time downtown we enjoyed a spectacular view from the top of Hallgrimskirkja Church Tower and then went on a walking tour of Harpa Concert Hall. Near Keflavik International Airport we highly recommend seeing the Icelandic Museum of Rock and Roll (Rokksafn) – the wall of guitars includes those by John Lennon and Wolfman Jack. Viking World nearby features the full size Viking ship Islendingur – an exact 9th century replica that was sailed from Iceland to New York City in the year 2000 to celebrate Leif Erikson’s journey to North America 1,000 years earlier. An unexpected delight was to see the unique people-shaped street lamps in the same area.
Love the photos!
Thank you! We keep going back again – so much to see!
