Place description
Hallgrímskirkja is the largest church in Iceland and one of the most important symbols of the country. It is located in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, and is named after Hallgrimur Pétursson, an Icelandic cleric and poet. The church was built between 1945 and 1986 and is made of black basalt, which is typical of the Icelandic landscape.
Its design is inspired by Reynisdrangar, two cliffs located in the south of Iceland. The church is 74 metres high and is the tallest building in Iceland. Hallgrímskirkja is a popular tourist destination. The view in the church tower, where the elevator leads, is also great. There is no entrance fee to the church, but there is to this viewpoint. A ticket for one will cost 1 300 ISK (year 2023), which is slightly over 200 CZK. There is a beautiful view of the whole of Reykjavik, so the “investment” is definitely worth it.
With this extraordinary structure towering over virtually all of Reykjavík, it is a beautiful sight from many other places in the city, such as the famous Rainbow Street.
