Things to do in Reykjavik

The National Museum of Iceland provides an insight into the past and the culture of the country, while the Vikin Maritime Museum focuses on its naval history. If art is your cup of tea, then you can't miss the National Gallery of Iceland.Landmark buildings shape the skyline of the city, such as the hemispherical structure of the Perlan, the majesting Harpa, reflecting on the water, as well as the dreamy construction of Hallgrímskirkja, a Lutheran parish church, the biggest in Iceland.Pubs, clubs and bars are the set of Friday-night revelries, another distinguishing feature of the capital that reveal the youngest facade and you certainly don't want to miss.
