    View of the harbor with cruise ships, view of the deserted island of Viðey in front of Reykjavík and a beautiful lighthouse.

    Very nice harbor, this is where the large passenger ships dock. Always a highlight

    At the end of the Old Port, the Yellow Lighthouse is one of those landmarks that defines the city's maritime silhouette. Small, photogenic, and surrounded by docks, it's the perfect spot for a quick break with views of Harpa, Mount Esja, and the new port buildings. A classic for urban walks: simple yet charming, like a postcard that never goes out of style.
