Message from Thrainn Kolbeinsson

Rainbow Street in Reykjavik is a vibrant and colorful spot that celebrates diversity and inclusivity. Originally painted for Reykjavik Pride, this street now stands as a permanent symbol of love and acceptance. Located in the heart of the city, Rainbow Street is surrounded by cute shops, cozy cafes, and iconic landmarks like Hallgrimskirkja Church. It's definitely a must-visit for anyone exploring Reykjavik and looking for a picture-perfect moment!

QUICK NOTES:

  • What it is: A beautiful street in down town Reykjavík that's painted in the rainbow colours.

  • Best season: Any (but summer for the most lively atmosphere down town).

  • Best time of day: Any.

  • Nice to know: To get the classic view, walk all the way down to the bend of the street and look towards the church (Hallgrímskirkja).
