Hallgrímskirkja

The Hallgrímskirkja church stands at the top of Skólavörðustígur street, towering over Reykjavik. Designed by the former state architect of Iceland, Guðjón Samúelsson, the architecture is inspired by the power of Icelandic nature; hexagonal basalt columns rise from the outside in, forming what resembles an erupting geyser. The church offers unbeatable views of the city, too, so take the lift up to the top floor to enjoy the city from above.
