Things to do in Reykjavik in June

1

Hallgrímskirkja

Iceland's tallest church, its concrete facade designed to evoke basalt lava columns — the tower observation deck is the best 360° view of Reykjavík's colourful rooftops.

2

Golden Circle Day Trip

Iceland's classic route covering Þingvellir National Park (where tectonic plates meet), the Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss waterfall — doable independently by rental car or on a guided tour.

3

Blue Lagoon

A geothermal spa of milky-blue mineral-rich water set in a lava field, one of Iceland's most-visited attractions — book well ahead, entry slots sell out, especially near the airport-transfer window.

4

Harpa Concert Hall

A glass concert hall on the harbour with a facade of hexagonal panels inspired by Iceland's basalt columns, changing colour with the light — free to walk through even without a ticket.

5

Sun Voyager Sculpture

A steel sculpture resembling a Viking longship on the waterfront, intended as an ode to the sun — a popular sunset photo spot with Mount Esja across the bay as backdrop.

6

Perlan Museum

A museum built atop hot-water storage tanks, with a real ice cave exhibit, planetarium, and a rotating rooftop viewing deck over the city.
