Old Reykjavík Harbor

Highlight • Monument

The origins of the Icelandic Coast Guard can be traced back to 1859, when the corvette Ørnen began patrolling Icelandic waters. In 1906, the first purpose-built patrol boat, the Islands Falk, arrived in Iceland.

The ships are anchored in this harbour in the evenings

Rainbow Street (Skólavörðustígur)

Highlight • Structure

The road or the rainbow looks longer than it is in many pictures. I still found it very cool, especially because of the church in the background, which is a sight in itself (Hallgrimskirkja).

Laugavegur Shopping Street

Highlight (Segment) • Settlement

Laugavegur is one of the oldest streets in Reykjavik. The street has its roots dating back to the city's early days when it was a path to natural hot springs. The name Laugavegur roughly translates to 'the Waterway', because women used to bring their laundry to this area to be washed in the hot springs. It was officially constructed in 1885. Over time, Laugavegur evolved from a practical route into a vibrant city center. By the end of the 19th century it was known for its beautiful Icelandic style buildings that now characterize much of downtown Reykjavik. These colorful old houses, together with the street art and amazing murals, make Reykjavik a truly vibrant and colorful small city, especially during the gray and dark winter days.

Ode to Mother Mural by Caratoes, Laugavegur 23

Highlight • Monument

Laugavegur 23 in Reykjavik, is a striking building known for its impressive mural. The building is home to the Mjúk Iceland store. The mural, by Hong Kong-based Belgian street artist Cara To (also known as Caratoes), was created as part of the Wall Poetry Project in 2015.
The mural, titled 'Ode to Mother', is inspired by the song 'Óður til Móður' ('Ode to Mother') by local band Ylja. The artwork immerses the entire building in a hallucinatory haze of colors and shapes.

Fálkahús (Falcon House) – Hafnarstræti

Highlight • Historical Site

Note the Fálkahús, the "falcon house" (1888), whose central roof is decorated with a drakkar and four birds of prey. This is where the Icelandic falcons that were sold to European aristocrats at the time were kept.

March 15, 2024,🥾🇮🇸- Raykjavik

I found Raykjavik surprisingly beautiful. I hadn't paid much attention to the city before. Normally I don't care about cities if I'm completely into nature. But after being in Iceland for the third time, I found it a bit shameful not to have taken a closer look at Raykjavik.
So we planned a whole day. And that was a good …

Short evening walk through Reykjavik with Hallgrímskirkja, harbor view and Harpa concert hall.
