Snabba fakta: An unmistakable 74.5-meter tower rises above the city, its vertical concrete ribs echoing the hexagonal basalt columns found along the coast. Inside, a 5,275-pipe organ fills the nave with thunderous, cathedral-like tones that locals and visitors come to hear during concerts.
Höjdpunkter: A weathered bronze of Leif Erikson by Alexander Stirling Calder stands in the forecourt; the 3.6-meter figure was a gift from the United States and often invites close inspection of its worn plaque. Stand beneath the soaring nave during an organ recital and low frequencies from the 5,275-pipe instrument will make the floor tremble, so you can feel sound as much as hear it.
Insidertips
- Dress in layers and wear a windproof jacket, the tower platform can be chilly and exposed.
- Position yourself on the west-facing tower side at sunset for the best city and mountain panorama photos.
- Skip peak midday on weekends, arrive right at opening to avoid queues for the elevator.
- Check the church concert schedule; attending a recital lets you hear the famed pipe organ and may offer quieter access.

Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat
Guider tjänar endast dricks, så de ger sitt absolut bästa
Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Reykjavík, Iceland, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
