Hallgrímskirkja church

Hallgrímskirkja stands guard over Reykjavík. The church is both a parish church and a national sanctuary in Iceland.

The church is named after the 17th-century clergyman Hallgrímur Pétursson, author of Hymns of the Passion. Hallgrímskirkja is an Evangelical-Lutheran church and is a part of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Iceland. Hallgrímskirkja is one of the most visited places by tourists in Iceland.

The pond and Hljómskálagarðurinn park

Few open areas in Reykjavik occupy a more solid place in the hearts of the city's inhabitants than Tjörnin and its immediate surroundings, Hljómskálagarðurinn and Vatnsmýrin, where nature and human life meet in the middle of a metropolis in a unique way. At the northern end of the Pond, urbanization began in Reykjavík in the 18th century and since then the Pond has been a centrepiece in Reykjavik and an important area for outdoor activities and games. For a capital that is mostly surrounded by sea, it is unique to have such a large freshwater lake in the centre of the city.
