Erro is Iceland´s Diego Rivera and a fascinating collection of his is always on display at the Hafnarhús Reykjavík Art Museum, one of 3 museums run by the city. Read more.
One of the coolest art museums I have ever been to, hands down. Fantastic exhibitions.
Cool museum with a nice bookshop. The great thing is that if you buy a ticket here you'll get free admission to all the other art museums in town.
This is truly hotel and restaurant within an art museum. The largest privately owned art collection in Iceland. A real gem close to the center of town. Many Kjarval scetches are a particular highlight Read more.
Love this place. Ask Snorri to take you on an art tour of the place!
Best place for pre-dinner drinks. Doubles as an art gallery with sketches and paintings from Kjarval.
With one of the world's top 10 economies, Britain cuts arts funding. Facing total financial ruin, Iceland built this stunning performance venue. I know which future generations will appreciate more.
Great state of the art, concert hall, with perfect acoustic
Designed by the Danish architect firm Henning Larsens & Danish-Icelandic Artist Olafur Eliasson
Saw an evening performance of music & philosophy combined into an amazing thoughtful work of art.
cool photo collection, all by a single artist, Ari Sigvaldason
A great collection of photo prints and vintage cameras. Go just to see the crazy animal costumes worn in some of the images. Small but quirky.
Cool photographs. Worth to go in and have a look. Bought 3 photos, paid cash as it says you get a discount but paid even more than they should have cost regularly. Unfortunately I realized it too late
Paintings and sculptures of Icelandic artists
Small but worthy, admission from hafnarhus is good here, too and the installations are well put together.
The admission is valid on the same day for Hafnarhus, Kjarvalsstadir and Asmundarsafn!
Easily the biggest hotel rooms in Reykjavik. Spacious private and public decks, luxury amenities, custom art and a Full TV channel of Icelandic landscape videos made just for guests!
Great location and awesome rooms - this is more of a boutique hotel. They are very spacious with lots of amenities and friendly staff
Designed by master architect Alvar Aalto, Reykjavík’s Nordic House is a sight to behold & a great destination for an afternoon walk w/ an exquisite view of the city. Hosts art exhibitions & concerts.
Beautiful house and space. The house is a design by Alvar Aalto. They have a little shop, a simple bistro and a very cool library. They host various events from time to time.
Sometimes very cool exhibitions here. Absolutely get a look at the architecture of the building, designed by finnish architect Alvar AALTO.
One of the oldest cafes in town, rich with the spirits of lost poets and great minds. The waffles are great and there are art exhibitions on the walls - but no free wifi!
Great atmosphere, cool art, good coffee
Get coffee from Reykjavik Roasters first, come here for the delicious waffles afterwards!
Listening to CDs and enjoying a cappuccino is one of my favorite Reykjavik activities. A must-visit for music lovers. Discover some new Icelandic artists!
Awesome selection of Icelandic vinyl. You can listen to everything in a cool back room with coffee too.
Record store you have to visit: 12 Tonar Read more.
Jon Gunnar's sculpture as part of Experimental Environment Art Project
Beautiful sculpture on the boulevard of Reykjavík. Reflects the sunlight perfectly so try to see it at sunrise, sunset or on a sunny day!
Really cool structure with a nice view.
Everything about this bar is amazing - from the art, beer selection, and staff. 5 stars
Good beer and a lovely place.
Cool local pub! 16:00-19:00 : the happy hours with à but one get one offer. Their oktober kaldi and their einstok pale ale are really great choices!
Chip from Alabama was my artist. It's an ancient Icelandic stave for awakening love. He was pleasant and gave me tips during my first-time visit to Reyjkavik.
Great tattoos and a great tattoo shop
Respect! Check out the mural on 2nd floor of our founder and entrepreneur Sigfus Eymundsson who began his start-up of selling books in 1872. Yes 1872.
Great bookstore chain. They all have Te Og Kaffi places inside so you can sit down and have a great coffee/tea drink. Free wifi and fun books/magazines to browse.
Taktu kaffibollann með í setustofuna á efstu hæðinni / Enjoy your coffee at the top floor
Houmous breakfast is very nice. Truck also but way too much :) Super cozy little spot, great art, funny books. Laid back.
The place itself is nice and cozy with lots of books; breakfast goes for around 2500 ISK and you get a damn hearty portion of delicious food, can only recommend their Croque Madame and pancakes!
Opens really early (7am). Coffee was great and the breakfasts were basic but very well made. Come here if you land early in the morning for a great first impression of Iceland.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
