I mean it with every fiber of my being that this is one of the most beautiful buildings in the country. Harpa is a stunning example of modern Icelandic architecture, with its glass facades reflecting the surrounding cityscape and the nearby harbor.

Inside of the building is even more gorgeous! In addition to being a lovely place to explore, this conference center and music hall is a major cultural center in Iceland. It hosts a wide range of events including concerts, theatrical performances, and art exhibitions. I recommend checking out the calendar of events on Harpa's website to see what's happening during your visit.

If you’re fortunate to see a concert here, you’re in for a treat because the concert hall has world-class acoustics.

If you’re feeling hungry or want to do a bit a shopping, there is a restaurant there and some shops. A bonus is that there is indoor parking below the building.
