Another stop on this exciting full-day tour is the Perlan Museum, known as "The Pearl." With its striking glass dome, it's one of Reykjavik's most interesting buildings. Initially built as a series of hot water storage tanks, it now stands as a cultural and entertainment complex. 

The building houses a museum, observation deck, and revolving restaurant, offering panoramic views of Reykjavik and the surrounding natural wonders, including glaciers and mountains. Make sure you bring your camera!

Your guide will also take you to the Harpa Concert Hall near the Old Harbor. This striking building opened in 2011 and has become a favorite stopping point for tourists. Its distinct facade, made of steel and geometrically patterned glass panels, reflects Iceland's dramatic landscapes, mimicking the play of light on glaciers and waterfalls.

Inside, it houses multiple concert halls and hosts various cultural events, from classical music to contemporary performances. You'll also find shops, restaurants, and a glass atrium that offers breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding sea.

Another stop on the tour is the Sun Voyager sculpture. Created by artist Jon Gunnar Arnason in 1990, it represents the promise of a new day and a tribute to Iceland's rich maritime heritage.
