Famous Landmarks
Hallgrímskirkja
64.1466°N, 21.9426°W
Hallgrímskirkja is a 74.5-metre Lutheran church completed in 1986 after 41 years of construction, making it Iceland's tallest building. Designed by architect Guðjón Samúelsson, its basalt-column facade draws inspiration from the natural lava formations found across Iceland's landscapes. From its tower, a 360-degree panorama takes in Reykjavik's colourful rooftops, Mount Esja, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Harpa
64.1466°N, 21.9426°W
Harpa is a concert hall and conference centre opened in 2011, designed by Danish architect Henning Larsen in collaboration with artist Ólafur Elíasson. Its geometric facade of 10,000 honeycomb glass panels shifts colour with the light, capturing the northern lights in winter and the midnight sun in summer. The building, awarded the Mies van der Rohe Prize in 2013, has become the symbol of Reykjavik's cultural renaissance.
Sun Voyager
64.1466°N, 21.9426°W
The Sun Voyager (Sólfar) is a stainless-steel sculpture created by Jón Gunnar Árnason, unveiled in 1990 on Reykjavik's seafront. Evoking a stylised Viking ship, the work faces northwest toward Mount Esja and the summer sunset. It has become one of Iceland's most photographed monuments, a symbol of voyage, dreams, and northern light.

Gifting a star map of Reykjavik means capturing the magic of a sky where northern lights dance above the colourful rooftops of the world's northernmost capital.

The sky of Reykjavik
Sitting at 64° north latitude, Reykjavik enjoys extraordinary astronomical conditions. In winter, long polar nights offer up to 20 hours of darkness, creating ideal conditions for observing the northern lights that illuminate the Icelandic sky from September to March. In summer, the midnight sun never truly sets, offering perpetual twilight from late May to late July. The island's low light pollution and pure North Atlantic air ensure exceptional atmospheric transparency.
