Imagine Peace Tower
Bedste tid at besøge
Evenings during late autumn to early spring offer the best viewing experience, as the darkness emphasizes the shining light column. Avoid summer when the midnight sun drowns it out.
Budgettips
No entry fee as the installation is outdoors; visiting during off-peak times in winter often means fewer visitors and more serene moments. Combine with a free stroll along the nearby coastline.

Om
Hurtige fakta: A towering beam of light shoots into the Icelandic night sky, visible for miles around, representing hope and peace. Its illumination only appears during certain months and significant dates tied to global peace.
Højdepunkter: The light is powered by 15 searchlights and 300 bulbs, fueled entirely by geothermal energy. Each November 9th the tower glows in memory of John Lennon on his birthday, adding a deeply personal and inspirational touch.
Insidertips
- Dress warmly and wear sturdy shoes for outdoor walking at night.
- Bring a tripod and wide-angle lens for night photography.
- Avoid weekends and holiday evenings for a quieter visit.
- Spot the tower from the nearby Videy Island for a different perspective.
