Stop At: Hallgrimskirkja, Hallgrimstorgi 1, Reykjavik 101 Iceland

Hallgrímskirkja looks over Reykjavík as the most recognisable building standing above all the rest. Its stepped concrete facade is a reminder of the Icelandic landscape and the church’s interior minimalist with a grand organ. The church is named after Hallgrímur Pétursson, a 17th-century clergyman and author of a famous series of Hymns of the Passion.

If conditions allow, we will go up to the bell tower for a magnificent view over Reykjavik City.
