The Hallgrimskirkja is the second highest building in Iceland. From the top of the church tower you have a great view of the capital Reykjavik with the colorful roofs and the harbor.

The Hallgrímskirkja (Church of Hallgrímur) has a 73 meter high tower and is located near the old center. The church is built on the Skólavörðuholt hill. Construction work started in 1945. However, it was not until 1986 that the church was inaugurated. The church is inspired by the basalt structures in Iceland. The church is soberly furnished with an impressive church organ with more than 5,000 organ pipes. You can take the elevator to the tower (paying). I thought it was funny that half of the pews face the altar and the other half face the organ.
