Through Reykjavik Excursions, we booked a half day city tour to explore some areas of Reykjavik.  First stop was Hallgrímskirkja, a Lutheran church which is 73 meters high and the largest church in Iceland.

We then stopped at the Grotta lighthouse, where there is an old shack that was used for fermenting shark.

Our next stop was the Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach – a popular spot with the locals.

Then we stopped by the Perlan which is a landmark building in Reykjavik.  It sits on a hill overlooking the city.  The building has been added on top of hot water storage tanks.  It has a viewing platform which goes around the entire building for 360 degree views.

We made a quick stop at Höfði House which is where Gorbachev and Reagan met in 1986 and ultimately their meeting ended the Cold War.

And, of course, we had to stop to see the iconic Sun Voyager!  The sculpture was created for the 200th anniversary of the city of Reykjavik.

Finally, our last stop was the Harpa Concert Hall.
