Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Reykjavik’s most prominent landmark, the Evangelic-Lutheran church of Hallgrimskirkja towers over the city and is one of the most-visited tourist attractions. The modernist architecture of the church is quite unique and includes a stepped façade that pays homage to Iceland’s rugged landscape. You can take an elevator to the top of the imposing 242-foot tower to enjoy sweeping views of the city and surrounds. Inside, décor is restrained, as befits a Lutheran place of worship, and there is a very impressive pipe organ to admire. Try and time your visit for 12 noon, when a meditation service with organ accompaniment takes place. Entrance is free but a small fee applies to entering the tower.
