- Climb Hallgrímskirkja to get a view of the colorful houses of Reykjavik. Tickets are 1000 ISK (about $9 USD), and they accept credit cards.

- Marvel at the architecture of Harpa Concert Hall – even if you don’t have time to catch a concert here, it’s worth checking out just to see colorful glass panels that the building is constructed of.
Harpa Concert Hall - Shop around at the Kolaportid Flea Market. According to the site, it’s open on weekends but when we went there on a Sunday it was closed. If you do get the chance to go, you can shop for everything from antiques to dried fish.
- Check out the Sun Voyager metal sculpture. It’s commonly mistaken as a viking ship, but it’s actually meant to be an ode to the sun, symbolizing light and hope.
