A beautiful shopping mug that invites you to stroll around.

Only parts of the foundation walls remain of the ruins. However, there is an information panel and the view over the bay is also good.

The central shopping street with lots of tourist traps, the common souvenier shops and here and there a nice shop to explore in between. Nice atmosphere though.

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.

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.

Perlan (Icelandic for "the Pearl") is a hot water storage facility in Iceland's capital, Reykjavík. It was designed by Ingimundur Sveinsson and opened in 1991. From here, the city is supplied with hot water, including the sidewalks and streets, which are heated in winter. Perlan is located on the Öskjuhlíð hill south of the city center, near Reykjavík Airport. Hot water storage facilities had been located on this site for several decades. Based on plans dating back to the 1930s (originally developed by Johannes Kjarval), the six aluminum tanks were covered with a glass dome. Lamps create the illusion of a starry sky, and mirrors reflect the sky and, frequently, the northern lights into the building. An artificial geyser was also constructed inside the building, which erupts every few minutes. One of the tanks was drained and housed a Saga Museum until 2014. On the roof of the tanks is an observation deck offering views over Reykjavík and far into the country. A revolving restaurant is located on the top floor, allowing you to enjoy the panoramic view while dining. Since July 2017, the building has housed the Museum of Natural Wonders of Iceland, featuring an artificial glacier and ice cave, designed and built by Susan Christianen and Johan Larsson. There is also a planetarium and other exhibitions on Icelandic nature. The construction of the building owes its political importance to Davíð Oddsson, then mayor of Reykjavík and later Prime Minister of Iceland.
