    Church in the heart of Reykjavik

    Best part after offering respects is the lookout from upstairs. This Church is at a walkable distance from a very lively and pedestrian friendly market area with lots of cafes, shops and restaurants. Onsite parking is free.

    Good Views

    There are a few Churches in Reykjavík but by far my favourite is the Hallgrimskirka. It’s modern, stylish, elegant and beautiful both inside and out. The views from the top of the Belltower are amazing (lift access). The interior of the Church is also modern...More

    Incredible Architecture

    The architecture on this church is amazing. Crazy to think how they built this so many years ago. Unfortunately we didn't have a chance to go inside as it was closed. The great thing was not too many people were around there at the time...More

    Fairly central to Reykjavík at the top of a hill but a short walk. Wonderful views from the top and inside is very different and unusual to the usual churches visited. Warm inside for a break from the weather. Worth a visit and free although...More

    No one took our tickets either. It was the honor system. If it was me, I would just ask them when I bought the ticket and go with what they said. I bet they would say it was fine.
