A Magical Exploration Inside Reykjavik's Cathedral

Today, I want to share with you one of the key highlights from my travel album, which is also one of the famous landmarks of Iceland's capital Reykjavik—"Hallgrimskirkja"! It is the largest church in Iceland! Standing at 74.5 meters tall, if you have enough time, it is recommended to climb the tower to enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city of Reykjavik, after all, this is the highest point of the whole city! When taking the elevator to the top, you will find that the top of the pipe organ church is not sealed, but open on all sides, allowing you to overlook the cityscape near the windows. Just in time to catch a pipe organ performance with distinctive characteristics! It is truly worth sitting down to savor! Specific location of the church: Located at Hallgrímstorg 1, 101 Reykjavik, Iceland. Price information: The church is free to enter, but there is a fee of 1000 Icelandic Krona to go to the top. Ticket buying tips: Purchase tickets to the top of the church at the shop next to the elevator. Transportation tips: Reykjavik is relatively small, and most attractions can be reached on foot! You can also choose to drive. Warm reminder: For those who are driving, please note that there is a 24-hour free parking area behind the church! Opening hours: The church is open all year from 10:00-20:00. Hallgrimskirkja is named after the famous Icelandic writer Hallgrímur, in honor of his great contribution to Icelandic literature, and is also known as the Reykjavik Cathedral!
