Another stop is the Whales of Iceland Museum, a wonderful exhibit that has 24 life-size models of the magnificent animals that populate Iceland’s waters, along with virtual reality experiences that allow visitors to see whales on the ocean floor.

The Harpa Concert Hall, an iconic glass building which has become a vital part of Iceland’s cultural scene and is Reykjavik’s version of the Sydney Opera House. Hallgrímskirkja, a unique and famous church that was designed to look like the incredible basalt cliffs that are found on Iceland’s south coast, in front of it you will find a large statue of Leif Eriksson, the iconic Viking explorer who discovered America 500 years before Columbus.
