Worth it?
Budget a short stop here on any Reykjavík day. The main sanctuary is free to enter, and the 73-meter tower is where the panoramic city views come from. Creators treat it as one stop on a wider Iceland trip, one simply recommending it while exploring the capital, so it fits between other plans rather than filling a day. Music lovers should note it houses Iceland's largest pipe organ.
Before you go
- Go up the tower for the panoramic views of Reykjavík.
- Step inside the sanctuary, which is free.
- Look for the pipe organ, the largest in Iceland.
Highlights
