Concert halls Reykjavík

Olafur Eliasson is the Danish-Icelandic architect responsible for this wonder. He was inspired by the natural materials and the omnipresence of light in Reykjavík. Located in the old harbour, the building is a sparkling sculpture on which the sky and the sea are reflected. At night, its facade is illuminated with coloured lights.

The Harpa is now home to the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra and the Icelandic Opera in four halls. There are also meeting rooms, an exhibition area, a restaurant and a souvenir shop.

To get to the Nordic House, you will have to walk about fifteen minutes from the city centre or take a bus. In this vast modern building, discover the bookshop open to the public since 1969, with only Scandinavian authors. It's worth a visit just for the eyes! And you can continue to feast your eyes with regular exhibitions and cultural programmes. If you feel a little thirsty, head to the café for a hot or cold drink.

A cinema in the largest shopping centre in the country, located near the city centre of Reykjavik in Kopavogur.

A cinema in the "historic" shopping centre of the country, which above all passes American blockbusters as well as the essential foreign and Icelandic films of the moment.

Cinema in the University, facing the hotel Saga Radisson. First-hollywood programming, but also some more exotic or independent films. It is also the venue of the French Film Festival.

The last surviving cinema in the city center, the Regnboginn, also the first multiplex to open in Europe, closed in June 2010, fortunately quickly transformed into a new independent cinema offering experimental, artistic, offbeat films, documentaries and plenty of other good surprises. Managed by a non-profit organization and supported by the city, the venue is the new hub of activity for the Reykjavik International Film Festival. DVD store and café complete the premises.
