The Hallgrââ mskirkja is one of the most prominent structures in this gorgeous little city. This church offers visitors the opportunity to get to the top for a bird's eye view of downtown Reykjavik. If you can manage the strong winds that blow up there while holding a camera, and if the weather's not too bad, you'll end up having experienced something special!
