ReykjavíkSights

Square, Plaza sights in Reykjavík

  1. A

    Stórnarráðið

    For an Icelandic joke, at the beginning of Bankastræti look north towards the detached building Stórnarráðið, which contains the prime minister's offices. The statues outside are of Hannes Hafstein, leader of the first home-rule government, and King Christian IX presenting Iceland with its constitution. If you get the right perspective, you can recreate a shot from the cult movie 101 Reykjavík - the king stuffing the constitution up Hafstein's rear.

  2. Ingólfstorg

    Popular with skateboarders, the stone square Ingólfstorg is notable for its billowing steam vent, where pent-up geothermal energy finds a release.
