With one of the world's top 10 economies, Britain cuts arts funding. Facing total financial ruin, Iceland built this stunning performance venue. I know which future generations will appreciate more.
Breathtaking landmark in the port . Worth a visit during the day and by night when the outside is illuminated - to mimic northem lights. The visit of the building is free and it's open till late.
The behind the scenes tour and 360 movie are a great way to visit Harpa without committing to a formal ticket. The tour is a must for anyone who likes architecture and/or music !
Try to see it from different angles and go inside to not miss the just as spectacular view . It‘s highly recommended to pass by architect Olafur Eliasson‘s Reykjavik studio at Marshallhúsið.
It is without a doubt a jewel, more like a sculpture than a concert hall where the mountains meet the sea. There is a great restaurant inside and is sublime even just to read with a glass of wine
Amazing modern structure building in Reykjavik. It hosts culture events daily. Make sure to attend the Icelandicsagas show.
Amazing building.. Must see for architourers. Great interior in late afternoon light.. Or see the outside lit up at night.
Amazing views and architecture ! Open to the public to wander around when no events are in progress. Don't miss it!
Music venue but very cool architecture inside and out. Free to wander around and get your IG game on. Also free wifi & cool little seats
Great place to visit and attend a concert if you're lucky. Great to visit during the day or at night. An architectural dream.
Amazing building inside and out. Interesting shops and cafe areas . Worth even just a wander through to get a look at the incredible structure from the inside!
A few beautiful shops, a cafe , lovely seating lining the stairs to the second level, gorgeous setting - perfect exploring for a break from rainy or snowy weather.
The big gray boats outside are part of Island 's Coast Guard . Their primary purpose is to protect Island 's fishing waters from foreign fishermen.
Beautiful concert hall with dramatic natural lighting . Check out the “How to be Icelandic in 60 minutes” and “Icelandic Sagas” shows.
A stunning, stunning building - totally mesmerising. The interior surpasses the exterior in the most psychedelic of ways. Absolute pleasure to visit!
The building is fantastic both externally and internally. After you enter, it's a good idea take the elevator on the right to the fifth floor and walk down the building.
I really enjoyed 'Icelandic sagas' and I wish I had the time to see 'how to become Icelandic in 60 min'.
Harpa Conference & Concert Center • Visit the place for the architecture , nice views over the harbour . You can find there a 12 Tónar music shop.
Beautiful building and be sure to check out some of the gift stores inside
Take the elevator to the top floor and take in the view from all sides!
Older crowd @ chamber music shows, but if you're coming to see the architecture , you must come both at night and during the day!
Beautiful Concert Hall . Worth a walk through even if you're not going to see a concert/show.
Great architecture , just don't use the toilet . At 600kr (5 euro) that buys you a small lunch at some European cities
Just BEAUTIFUL! Make sure to book a concert or expo before coming, or you will just take a short walk inside.
A must in Reykjavik. Beautiful architecture with a great and interesting programme inside
Stunning architectural master piece ???????????? nothing quite like this. Definitely an unforgettable experience.
Take the tour ! They show you all of their auditoriums , let you see behind the scenes and give some history of the building
Check out the boats in the harbor at the back of the concert hall . Also, this place has the nicest bathrooms .
Beautiful building on the boulevard! Check out the lights when it's dark enough.
Beautiful architecture . I can imagine the place is amazing when there is a big event there, like Iceland Airwaves .
Absolutely stunning setting. Explore the upper floors via the stairs and discover some really cool booths to hang out in.
Totally worth stopping in just to check out the architecture .
It's such a beautiful structure ! I love how the architect integrated local material such as Icelandic lava.
Apparently this is a concert hall or something, but go inside and it's a maze of wonder for anyone with a camera .
Beautiful architecture and some shops inside. Great views , a few shops and free to just wander around.
Great building with a great view on the harbour . Don't miss the lightplay at night.
The coffee bar in the lobby is full of sunshine and offers free Wi-Fi!
Must go. Spent an hour amazed by the place and the views . Take your time and enjoy it....
Two lovely gift shops in the hall and open to visitors.
The best lightning show in the building I have ever seen.
Really interesting architecture .
The design is absolutely wonderful. Very peaceful inside.
A nice glassy building with a good view over Reykjavik harbor . Toilets are not free!
Behind Harpa on the back pier , you can catch a boat to Videy island . Well worth the trip.
A MUST! Incredible architecture !
Beautiful convention center and concert hall .
Actually an excellent concert venue for Iceland Airwaves ; great sound and amazing lighting rigs.
Most concerts are here. Besides its cool to go on the hightest floor and enjoy the view !
Don't die before attending Sigur Rós concert here
Great state of the art , concert hall , with perfect acoustic
Perfect for groups, tables require better lighting though. Venue architecture is great, especially the stairs. - Bram de Vries
Being inside this building is like being inside a quiet, vast, glacier. Rich, dark, volcanic basalt line the inner walls; sculptured glass form the outer case. Beautiful. Go to the 5th floor view. - Michael Laine
One of the nicest concert halls I've been in. Head upstairs for seats or slide in on the ground floor to get close to the stage. - Stephanie
Amazing venue, incredible sound. - Leon Hill
Must see when in Reykjavik. Fantastic setting with the perfect blend of man-made and natural. - M W
The hype is real: those hot dogs are really good and worth the wait, even on cold days! - Julie L
the cutest area with tons of restaurants and a great view - Christine Wong
