About 500 meters from the Harpa Concert Hall, you'll see a striking work of art right on the waterfront: the Sun Voyager. Most people believe it's a Viking ship due to Iceland's history, but the sculpture is actually meant to represent a dream ship. Made of stainless steel, it's a celebration of the sun. The work of art represents hope, freedom, and progress. Sun Voyager can be found on the waterfront promenade near the city center and is a great place to photograph, especially at sunset when the water reflects off the sculpture. Between the Sun Voyager and the historic Höfði House, you can take a relaxing stroll and discover even more works of art.

Sun Voyager (Sólfar) Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The steel sculpture Sólfar (Sun Ride) represents a dream trip to the sun on a mystical boat. It lies on the shore path of Reykjavik against the backdrop of the local mountain Esjy and the Atlantic Ocean.
Due sculpture was created by the artist Jón Gunnar Árnason on the occasion of a bicentenary of the city of Reykjavík.

Harpa Concert Hall

Highlight • Monument

The actual architects of Harpa are Henning Larsen Architects‎ and Batteríið‎. The artist Ólafur Elíasson designed the concept for the design of the outer facade. Furthermore, visiting the Harpa is no longer free. 1500 ISK (as of 2017) has to be paid to visit areas other than the ground floor. It is also possible to book a guided tour of the Harpa.

Old Reykjavík Harbor

Highlight • Monument

The origins of the Icelandic Coast Guard can be traced back to 1859, when the corvette Ørnen began patrolling Icelandic waters. In 1906, the first purpose-built patrol boat, the Islands Falk, arrived in Iceland.

The ships are anchored in this harbour in the evenings
