Reykjavik / Theatre

I love art deco, this is the large theatre downtown. I have seen some nice dance performances in here.

Reykjavik / Museum

I love going here when they have a new exhibition on and taking a look around and maybe having a delicious soup and sandwich or a coffee after. They also have an Erro (one of Icelands most famous pop artists) exhibit there, thats ongoing.

Reykjavik / Architecture

Is Reykjaviks most famous church. Whenever my friends or family come to visit I take them up to the top where the bells are. You can see all the sides of Reykjavik from above. Its slightly cheaper than a helicopter ride! Just don't go up when the bells are ringing as there is 12 and they are loud.

Reykjavik / Cafe

A cute little place to have a breakfast or a brunch after a night out. Lovely nooks to read your paper or read a book and enjoy their pancakes with maple syrup and bacon or some eggs.

Reykjavik / Museum

When they have exhibitions here, its really nice to look around. They also have a very cute little cafe there. I went to see the art school have their final work on display of ceramics and graphics and it was so nice.

Reykjavik / Harbour

Little outdoor hand crafted play area for kids, down where the fishing boats are docked. Its really nice to hang out here after getting a hot chocolate or an icecream from the nearby amazing icecream parlour, Valdis. My son Johnny Vincent being all cool and viking like!
