Opening hours, prices and tickets for places worth your time.
Harpa is the concert hall and conference centre on the old harbour in Reykjavík, opened in May 2011 and home to the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Henning Larsen Architects designed it with the artist Olafur Eliasson, whose facade of geometric glass panels recalls basalt columns. Its foyers, shops and restaurants are open outside concerts.
Perlan is a glass dome set on six hot-water storage tanks on Öskjuhlíð hill in Reykjavík, designed by architect Ingimundur Sveinsson and opened in 1991. It houses a nature museum with a man-made ice cave, a planetarium show about the northern lights and a replica of the Látrabjarg bird cliff, and an observation deck runs around the dome.
Sky Lagoon is a geothermal spa at Kársnes harbour in Kópavogur, opened in 2021 a few kilometres south of central Reykjavík. Its open-air pool of geothermal water at around 38–40 °C ends in an edge facing the sea, and a bathing ritual leads through a cold plunge, a sauna with sea-view windows, a cold mist, a body scrub and a steam room.
