The quite peculiarly-shaped facade was actually inspired by the geometrical shapes created&nbsp;when lava cools into basalt rock, a sight often compatible with Iceland&#8217;s rugged coastline. Right in front of the church, firmly looking at the sea ahead, is a statue of Leifur Eiriksson, the <em>actual<\/em> first European to discover America&#8230; a solid 500 years before Christopher Columbus saw the distant shores of the New World. And because Iceland has rather modest structures \u2014 a clever way to guarantee nature is the perpetual star of the show, and not vulgar man-made constructions \u2014 this is also technically the tallest building in Iceland, at 73 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hallgrimskirkja.is\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">There&#8217;s an observation deck atop the steeple<\/a> and&nbsp;the 360-degree views of the capital region including the shore and the mountains, making it well worth the modest&nbsp;ISK 900 (~ $7.95 at the time of writing) entry fee.&nbsp;And yes, just in case your calves were starting to get anxious: there is a lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Reykjavik waterfront<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20239 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/560.jpg\" alt=\"photos of reykjavik \" width=\"1280\" height=\"824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/560.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/560-466x300.jpg 466w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/560-875x563.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/560-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/560-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/560-1200x773.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/560-450x290.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/560-1243x800.jpg 1243w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/560-800x515.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><em>The unique Harpa concert hall<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22326 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/photos-of-reykjavik-13.jpg\" alt=\"photos of reykjavik \" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/photos-of-reykjavik-13.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/photos-of-reykjavik-13-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/photos-of-reykjavik-13-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/photos-of-reykjavik-13-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/photos-of-reykjavik-13-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/photos-of-reykjavik-13-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/photos-of-reykjavik-13-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/photos-of-reykjavik-13-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><em>Chasing light inside Harpa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reykjavik&#8217;s second-most famous building is another landmark that draws inspiration from Iceland&#8217;s stunning natural beauty. Similar to the Hallgrimskirkja, but with its own unique style, the Harpa&#8217;s geometric glass facades resemble the basalt rocks found throughout the Nordic island. It&#8217;s not just a pretty face, though. It&#8217;s got concert halls, too. Check out their calendar to see what&#8217;s playing.
