Wander Reykjavik and climb Hallgrímskirkja

The city itself rewards a slow wander, and much of it is free. Stroll the colourful streets and harbour, admire the street art, and visit the interior of Hallgrímskirkja, the striking rocket-shaped church that dominates the skyline, which is free to enter, though there's a small charge to take the lift up the tower for the best view in the city. Browse the Kolaportið flea market at the weekend, one of the few places you can haggle. We'll point you to the best free corners of the city and the walk that links them.
