アイスランドでののおすすめランニングルート

It's a nice and easy walk to get here. Recommend.

At first glance, it looks like an elegant seaside villa, but world history was made within these walls: Reagan and Gorbachev met here in 1986, marking the beginning of the end of the Cold War. Built in 1909 for French consul Jean-Paul Brillouin and brought piece by piece from Norway, it blends Jugendstil and Nordic classicism. And beware: Icelanders say the "White Lady" still roams here, a ghost who lends an extra air of mystery to the visit.

Slightly hidden but very close to the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík, the Ingólfsgarður Lighthouse is located on the city's waterfront. The lighthouse is in good condition and a striking yellow. Some great views of the mountains in the distance and definitely worth a quick visit while you're in the Reykjavík harbor area.

Harpa's glass building is a beautiful design, where the design principles are light, color and natural phenomena. Harpa is an old Icelandic word and is a month on the old Nordic calendar. Harpa is located in the north of Reykjavik near the city's old harbour. You can get there within a 10-minute walk from the center and the highlight will immediately stand out because of the shiny colored glasses; the surrounding water gives an even more sparkling effect. A quick look inside the building is worth a visit to this attraction.

Free entrance. The pillars have stood in the water of the lake since the 1990s. The building is an architectural success in a controversial location. It combines concrete and glass, seeping water and a wall of greenery. Here you can study the huge relief map of Iceland, taking in the beautiful geography of the country.

The house was built in 1909 – not in Iceland, but in Norway. It came across the sea as a magnificent kit and blended into the Icelandic landscape. The building's architecture is a unique cocktail of Art Nouveau, classical neo-baroque and Norwegian national romanticism. As soon as you enter, you'll notice the name "Brillouin" in gold above the door – a tribute to the French consul for whom the house was originally built. But Höfði House was not just a home for diplomats. It also housed the poet Einar Benediktsson and played a significant role in the childhood of the painter Louisa Matthíasdóttir. Look out the windows and you'll see the stunning mountain views, which are also immortalized in some of her works. However, it's not just the beautiful artwork that made the house famous. In 1986, it became a stage for world politics when Reagan and Gorbachev laid the foundations for the end of the Cold War here. Just a few years later, the independence of the Baltic states was recognized within these walls. During your tour of Reykjavík, you should not miss a visit to this house. Once the residence of the British consul, then a place of business, and finally the representative reception house of the city administration - the Höfði House has witnessed many chapters of Reykjavík's history. And who knows, maybe when you enter you will feel the spirit of Winston Churchill or Marlene Dietrich, who once walked through the halls as guests.

A must see in Reykjavik. The sculpture is reminiscent of a Viking boat. The statue is always freely accessible and you have a great view of the city and the surrounding area.
