Even if you aren’t going there for a show, its stunning interiors are definitely worth a visit.
Harpa grabs your attention with a detailed and complicated lattice of glass panels that shine away at night, akin to the lights of an alien spaceship. The hobby of the concert hall has designer boutiques and a café, as well as a gourmet restaurant called Kolabrautin on the upper level. If you are interested in orchestras and operas and have opted for one of our Reykjavik Holiday Packages, this is the place for you as the Icelandic Opera and the Iceland Symphony are based here!
You can also swing by the Old Harbour. While it used to be a service harbour until recently, it has been converted into a tourist hot spot, with art galleries, museums, Northern Light films and high-quality restaurants.

The excellent National Museum of Iceland's imaginative display areas are filled with artefacts dating from early settlement to the current era.
