[2025 Reykjavik Attraction] Travel Guide for Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre (Updated Jun)

Figure 1-4: Harpa Concert Hall The architectural inspiration of the entire concert hall comes from Iceland's famous natural ecology - hexagonal columnar "basalt". It uses dozens of different colors of hexagonal glass to refract different light with the sunlight. The entire concert hall is worth seeing and checking in! Figure 5-6: Sun Voyager After visiting the concert hall, walk along the seaside and you will see the place where the Vikings, the ancestors of Iceland, first landed. There is a skeleton sculpture inspired by the Icelandic Viking ship. It is one of Iceland’s signature art buildings! Figure 7: Höfði Lighthouse Yellow lighthouse After watching the Sun Voyager, you will see it when walking along the beach! I highly recommend that you use a scooter for transportation! The most famous building in the city center is Figure 8-10: Hallgrimskirkja Church It is the largest church in Iceland, and its architectural inspiration also comes from Iceland's unique natural ecology. It is highly recommended that you visit the inside in addition to checking in outside. You can buy a ticket to the top floor observation deck and overlook the entire city. There is also a huge organ inside, and performances are held from time to time! Everyone can pay attention to this. If you want to check in outside, I recommend you go at dusk! Because it will be backlit at noon, the orange-yellow sunlight shining on the church at dusk is really beautiful🥳 Skólavörðustígur Rainbow Street, which runs along the church, is also a very famous check-in spot! I suggest you bring a telephoto lens. Figure 11: Valdis This ice cream shop is famous for its "Little Flowers" and there are many check-in spots in front of the store!

Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre A stunning example of modern architecture The unique architectural design of this new concert hall in Reykjavik stands out from the rest of the city. The interior of the building is equally spectacular and its structure is very unique. One side is made of glass and metal columns, and the two side walls from ceiling to floor are made of many different shapes of glass. Because the glass panels that form the exterior honeycomb effect are transparent, the glass walls reflect the surrounding water and light, providing views of the harbor in all directions. The ceiling is made of metal parts. I don't know how to describe it, but it's very entertaining. We enjoyed viewing the interior and exterior of the structure at different times of the day. There are conference and performance venues within Haapan, as well as a fine restaurant on the third floor, which is rumored to have a stunning view of the harbor. Although Reykjavik has hundreds of years of history, the city feels very fresh. The Harpa complex adds vitality and youthfulness to this great city. The concert hall has a great gift shop selling local crafts. Even if your stay is short, be sure to visit and walk into this building. If you are able, it is definitely worth coming here to see a show. #modernarchitecture #iceland #reykjavik #concerthall #exhibitionhall #glassworld

Reykjavik Concert Hall in Iceland's capital✨ One of the must-see landmarks, the glass mirror exterior will sparkle day and night due to the reflection of light. Its light can be appreciated both inside and outside the building, and the visual art effect is excellent💫 Construction began in 2007, but the financial crisis in Iceland in 2008 did not stop its construction, and the concert hall was completed in 2011, and the finished product also amazed people from all walks of life. There is a souvenir shop in the basement of the concert hall, which has Christmas tree decorations, stationery, postcards, home decorations, etc. ~ #europetravel #reykjavik #harpa #iceland

🌊 Harpa Views & Ocean Breeze We started our Reykjavík morning with a walk by the harbor, and our first stop was the striking Harpa Concert Hall 🎶✨. The building glowed in the sunlight with its glass honeycomb facade reflecting blues and purples — honestly, we couldn’t stop taking photos 📸. Inside, the space was calm and echoey, almost meditative. Just outside, we sat by the sea, watching seabirds flutter near the Sun Voyager sculpture 🚢🌅, a dreamy steel boat facing the mountains across the bay. It was cool and breezy, the kind of fresh air that wakes you up from the inside. 📍 Harpa: Austurbakki 2, 101 Reykjavík 📍 Sun Voyager: Sæbraut, 101 Reykjavík 🥘 Local Bites & Lagoon Colors For lunch, we walked into Icelandic Street Food 🍲🇮🇸, where the staff treated us like old friends. We tried the lamb soup served in a warm bread bowl, and it was absolutely soul-soothing. Rich, herby, and perfect after walking in the coastal wind. Then we headed to Sky Lagoon 🌈♨️, just a short ride out — and wow, that infinity edge hot spring overlooking the North Atlantic was even better than the pictures. We soaked under the wide blue sky with steam rising all around us, cycling through the seven-step ritual (cold plunge included 🧊😱). It was peaceful, quiet, and somehow grounding. 📍 Icelandic Street Food: Lækjargata 8, 101 Reykjavík 📍 Sky Lagoon: Vesturvör 44-48, 200 Kópavogur Lava-Inspired Dining & Midnight Light For dinner, we treated ourselves to a reservation at DILL 🍷🌿, Reykjavík’s first Michelin-starred restaurant — and honestly, it was worth every bite. The interior was all dark wood and stone, like dining inside a volcanic cave. The tasting menu was a poetic ode to Iceland: wild herbs, Arctic char, fermented veggies — flavors that felt ancient and modern at once. We left just before midnight, and the sky was still glowing gold thanks to the midnight sun 🌞🌕. We wandered through the quiet streets, stopping for one last photo in front of Hallgrímskirkja, its tower bathed in soft light. A surreal, dreamlike end to the day. 📍 DILL Restaurant: Laugavegur 59, 101 Reykjavík 📍 Hallgrímskirkja: Hallgrímstorg 1, 101 Reykjavík #summervacay #travel #vacation

▪️Iceland｜Iceland Located in the North Atlantic Ocean, it is known as the "Land of Ice and Fire" and has active geological activities, with a large number of glaciers, volcanoes, geothermal fountains and waterfalls. Iceland is located near the Arctic Circle, where you can observe the aurora borealis in winter and polar day in summer. - ▪️Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon Located in the south of Vatnajökull glacier, the lake is filled with ice blocks of different sizes floating on the surface, formed by the meltwater from the glacier. The lake water flows into the Atlantic Ocean through short rivers, and the ice is slowly moved by the tides. Boat trips are available in some areas, allowing you to observe the ice floes up close. 📍 Jökulsárlón, Iceland - ▪️Golden Circle｜Golden Circle Iceland's classic tourist route includes three major natural landscapes: 📌 The geyser is located in a geothermal area. The Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes, with a water column up to 30 meters high. 📌 Thingvellir National Park is located at the intersection of the Eurasian Plate and the American Plate, and the surface fault zone is clearly visible; 📌 The Golden Falls is a two-level waterfall. The river water falls into the canyon from a height of 32 meters, and the water volume is abundant all year round. 📍 Golden Circle, Iceland - ▪️Black Sand Beach｜Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach Located on the south coast of Iceland, it was formed by the cooling of lava after a volcanic eruption, and the beach is black. The basalt columns along the coast are arranged in an orderly manner, and there are three sea stacks in the nearby sea area, which were formed due to long-term erosion by wind and waves. The area is windy and rough, with waves changing rapidly. 📍 Reynisfjara, Iceland - ▪️Volcano Adventures There are many volcanoes in Iceland and geological activities are active. The Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010, leaving lava debris around the crater. The Turismok geothermal area offers the experience of going inside a volcano and observing the magma pathways after an eruption. - ▪️Blue Lagoon Hot Spring｜Blue Lagoon Located in a geothermal area near Reykjavik, the lake water is rich in silica and minerals, giving it a milky blue color. The water temperature remains at 37-39°C all year round. The lake is surrounded by black lava landforms and the water comes from underground thermal energy circulation. 📍 Blue Lagoon, Iceland - ▪️Aurora Borealis Iceland is located in the Northern Lights belt, and the aurora can be seen from September to April of the following year. Observation points include the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Akureyri and Thingvellir National Park. The appearance of auroras is influenced by solar wind activity, and their intensity and frequency vary depending on weather conditions. - ▪️Natural hot springs and waterfalls 📌 Seljalandsfoss: The water falls from a 60-meter-high cliff. There is a trail behind the waterfall that allows you to go around to the back of the waterfall. 📌 Skogafoss: The waterfall is 25 meters wide and 60 meters high, with abundant water. Rainbows are common due to long-term water mist. 📌 Reykjada Hot Springs River: Located in the geothermal area, the river water is kept at a suitable temperature due to the influx of underground hot springs, and it can be used for natural hot spring soaking. - The following is a detailed guide for Icelandic volcano tourism, combining the latest developments and classic attractions to help you experience Iceland's "Song of Ice and Fire" safely and in depth: --- ### **1. Recommended volcanic attractions** 1. Thrihnukagigur - **Features**: The only volcano in the world that can be entered from the inside. The last eruption was 4,000 years ago.

You need to prepare wind and cold protection equipment. You will be led by a guide throughout the trip. 2. Reykjanes Peninsula Volcanoes - **Current situation**: On April 1, 2025, the Songznuk volcanic zone erupted again (the 8th time in recent years), with a fissure up to 1,200 meters long and active lava flows. Currently, surrounding areas (such as the town of Grindavik and the Blue Lagoon) have been evacuated and tourists are advised to avoid the outbreak area. - **How ​​to watch**: You can take a helicopter to see the spectacular volcanic eruption (from a safe distance), or follow the real-time updates from the Icelandic Meteorological Office. 3. The Golden Circle - **Thingvellir National Park**: The boundary between the Eurasian and American plates, with magnificent graben landscape. - **Geysir**: Geothermal activity is frequent, erupting every few minutes and reaching a height of 40 meters. --- ### **Second, safety tips and latest developments** 1. **Avoidance of outbreak area**: - The eruption area and surrounding roads on the Reykjanes Peninsula are closed and entry is prohibited. Volcanic ash and harmful gases may affect health and evacuation orders from the Icelandic Civil Protection Department must be followed. 2. **Travel Advice**: - Follow the real-time warnings from the Icelandic Meteorological Office (vedur.is) and the Civil Protection and Emergency Management Authority (almannavarnir.is). - Avoid flying drones in no-fly zones. Violators will face heavy fines. --- ### **3. Volcano theme itinerary planning** **Recommended route (6 days and 5 nights)** - **Day 1-2: Reykjavik and surrounding areas** - Visit Hallgrímskirkja Church, Harpa Concert Hall and join a Northern Lights tour. - Relax at the Blue Lagoon (if open), paying attention to the evacuation of the outbreak area. - **Day 3-4: South Coast Adventure** - Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss (volcanic landforms and glacial meltwater interweave). - Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach (a glacial lagoon formed by volcanic activity). - **Day 5: Golden Circle Day Tour** - Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir Geyser. - **Day 6: Volcano Special Experience** - Expedition inside the Srinukkag volcano (book in advance) or helicopter tour over the Reykjanes Peninsula volcanoes. --- ### **Four. Practical Tips** 1. **Visa and Insurance**: A Schengen visa is required and it is recommended to purchase travel insurance that covers the risk of volcanic activity. 2. **Clothing and equipment**: waterproof and windproof jacket, non-slip hiking shoes, and helmet (essential for volcano exploration). 3. **Transportation**: It is recommended to rent a car (four-wheel drive is best), or choose a local volcano theme tour group. 4. **Accommodation**: - Blue Lagoon Silica Hotel (combination of hot springs and volcanic landscape). - The Reykjavik Edition Hotel (overlooking the city and volcanic landscape). --- ### **V. Linkage between volcanoes and surrounding landscapes** - **Geothermal hot springs**: Blue Lagoon, Myvatn Hot Spring (formed by volcanic geothermal resources). - **Black sand beach**: Reynisdrangar (volcanic rock weathering to form a black sand beach). - **Glacier Hike**: Vatnajökull Glacier (a wonder where volcanoes and glaciers coexist). --- **Summary**: Volcano tourism in Iceland requires a balance between adventure and safety.

The air was fresh and crisp. 🌬 In the evening, we went to the famous Harpa Concert Hall, where the lights reflected on the sea. It was absolutely stunning. [Golden Circle, Nature's Masterpiece] Exploring the Golden Circle, I was awestruck by nature's masterpiece! 🌋 The geological wonders of Thingvellir National Park, the eruption of geysers, and the grandeur of Gullfoss Waterfall left me in awe at every turn. 😱 [Blue Lagoon, Where Ice Meets Fire] I also experienced the famous Blue Lagoon, where ice meets fire! 🧊🔥 Soaking in the warm blue waters while surrounded by a snowy world is an indescribable feeling! 💧 And the silica mud mask at the Blue Lagoon made my skin super smooth. Ladies, you must try it! 🧖‍♀ [Glacier Hiking] Our guide took us glacier hiking. Wearing crampons and walking on the glacier, every step was filled with the unknown and excitement. Although it was a bit tiring, standing at the top of the glacier and overlooking the whole of Iceland made all the fatigue worthwhile. 💪 [Northern Lights Night] We went to see the Northern Lights! The green light danced in the night sky, as if we were in a fairy tale world. At that moment, all the waiting and anticipation turned into awe. The beauty of nature was so overwhelming that it brought tears to my eyes. 💚

#magicalxmastrip #iceland Got two days in Iceland? Pack your sense of adventure (and a sturdy jacket), because this island has enough wonder to fill weeks, and you’ve got just 48 hours to experience it all. Start your whirlwind tour in Reykjavik, Iceland’s quirky capital. Spend the morning wandering through colorful streets, grab a coffee at a local café, and explore Hallgrímskirkja Church for panoramic city views. Don’t forget to check out the Harpa Concert Hall’s stunning architecture—perfect for that Instagram shot. Next, hit the Golden Circle route. First stop: the Geysir Hot Springs, where you can watch Strokkur erupt in a dramatic display of boiling water. Then, head to Gullfoss Waterfall, where you’ll feel the mist on your face as the massive cascade plunges into the canyon below. Bonus points if you try to take a selfie with the spray without getting soaked. After a quick lunch, make your way to Thingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart. It’s a surreal place to hike, and if you’re feeling brave, you can even snorkel in the Silfra Fissure, where the water is so clear you’ll think you’re swimming in a dream. For your second day, head south to Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls, two of Iceland’s most iconic. Finish your adventure at Reynisfjara, the famous black sand beach, before heading back to Reykjavik for your flight, wondering why 48 hours in Iceland is never enough.

The first stop after the plane landed was to eat the best hot dogs in all of Iceland The intestines of BBP hot dogs🌭 are made with organic lamb and pork, and are delicious with Icelandic specialty fried onions🧅. No wonder the former US president often queues up to visit Then went to Hallgrim Church, the unique staircase appearance makes it a one-of-a-kind church, access to the interior is free, however you have to pay up to the top for a panoramic view of the capital. Tips: Parking behind the church is free The next stop was the Harpa Concert Hall, which is great. Voted by the New York Times as one of the “41 Best Places to Visit in the World in 2011,” on sunny days, sunlight is refracted through columnar glass, forming a picture of Iceland’s basalt landscape Next to it is the Viking ship skeleton, a photo-taking landmark that a number of travelers like to use as a cover for travel books. This is where the Vikings, the ancestors of the Icelanders, first landed in Iceland. Looking at the sea or watching the aurora, sunset is super beautiful. #globaltravel

Harpa Opera House is the premier music and conference center in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. It was completed in 2011 and has now become one of the most representative landmarks in the capital. However, the construction of Harpa Opera House has actually experienced many twists and turns. The 2008 financial tsunami plunged the world into an economic crisis. Iceland's three major banks went bankrupt within a week, companies went bankrupt one after another, and people were living in dire straits. Iceland's prospects at the time were very bleak. Later, the government also declared bankruptcy. Harpa Opera House seemed to be unable to escape the fate of stopping construction. Miraculously, despite numerous economic concerns, the Icelandic government insisted on paying the full amount and completing the construction of Harpa. It was the only building at that time that was completed on time with government assistance. 📍Harpa Opera House Austurbakki 2, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland #Iceland #IcelandTravel

#familytrips2024 Iceland has a music concert hall named after Harp: Harpa. It is also the icelandic name for the first month of spring and thus a sign of brighter times haha. This concert hall has a distinctive coloured glass facade inspired by the basalt landscape of the country. The interior of the concert hall is pretty but do note that toilets here require a fee to get in.
