Top attractions in Reykjavik:

	Hallgrimskirkja Church Hallgrímskirkja church is Reykjavík's main landmark and its tower can be seen from almost everywhere in the city. More information: https://visitreykjavik.is/hallgrimskirkja-church.
	Austurvöllur Square and Public Park Austurvöllur is not only Reykjavík's go-to sunbathing spot, but it has also played an important role in Iceland's history. Located in central 101 Reykjavík, this public park is considered the midmost point of the downtown. More information: https://visitreykjavik.is/austurvollur-square-and-public-park.
	Hellisheidi Power Plant Geothermal Energy Exhibition The Geothermal Energy Exhibition at Hellisheiði Power Plant is a state-of-the-art look into the harnessing of geothermal energy in Iceland. More information: https://visitreykjavik.is/hellisheidi-power-plant-geothermal-energy-exhibition.
	Hlemmur Mathöll Hlemmur Mathöll is a gourmet food court located in one of the city's main bus station. Once punks, hobos, and other rebels frequented this building, but today it has a more upscale atmosphere. More information: https://visitreykjavik.is/hlemmur-matholl .
	Mosfellsbaer Routes Walkers, hikers and cyclists will love the extensive network of paths and cycling routes in this stunning part of the city! More information: https://visitreykjavik.is/mosfellsbaer-routes.
	Krysuvik Geothermal Area For those who'd rather spend time in the company of Mother Nature, a trip to the remarkable solfatara fields of Krysuvik will reward you with a memorable afternoon and an education in geology. More information: https://visitreykjavik.is/krysuvik-geothermal-area.
	Solfar Sun Voyager Reykjavik is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean with water-front paths stretching around the entire peninsula. Look out for the remarkable Solfar Sun Voyager sculpture along Reykjavik's scenic waterfront! More information: https://visitreykjavik.is/solfar-sun-voyager.
	Mount Esha Dramatically dominating the Reykjavík City skyline and providing a stunning backdrop to the capital area is the impressive Mount Esja, a popular destination for day-trippers and riddled with well-worn hiking trails. Once surmounted, the view from the top of this 914-metre high mountain is breathtaking. More information: https://visitreykjavik.is/mount-esja.
	National Museum of Iceland The National Museum of Iceland is a must for anybody interested in Icelandic history, culture and heritage. Artifacts from the Viking age to the modern day are on display. It’s great for families: The parents will get a sense of Iceland's 1000 years of history and the kids will see “some old, cool stuff”. The cafe and the gift shop are both excellent. More information: https://visitreykjavik.is/national-museum-iceland.
	Perlan (The Pearl) The Pearl, along with Hallgrímskirkja Church, is probably Reykjavík’s most recognizable landmark. Sitting on top of Öskjuhlíð, a big green public space, the building resembles something alien. Inside, you will find the interesting Perlan Museum, featuring a lit-up ice-cave. On the top floor, an excellent restaurant and coffeehouse can be found. The most popular part of The Pearl, however, is without a doubt its observation deck, offering a 360° view of Reykjavík. More information: https://visitreykjavik.is/perlan-museum.
	Northern Lights in Reykjavik Iceland is renowned for its otherworldly illuminations, the Northern Lights being one remarkable example. This particular phenomenon, also known as the Aurora Borealis, can be experienced in Iceland on those clear, crisp nights, where they appear in a variety of colours and intensity, either twirling gently in shades of milky green, or occasionally blazing in a wild and multi-coloured dance across the night sky.
