We spent the morning of our last (half) day in Iceland at the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik. The Harpa has intriguing architecture and is the main concert hall in Iceland, with fantastic views of the city from the top floor.
We then went to Perlan, an exhibition centre just outside the city of Reykjavik with more beautiful views over the city as seen above. The Perlan was an unplanned visit but it was one of the best attractions I had been to in the Reykjavik. There's lots of informative information on Iceland's geothermic and geological history, which is great for geography and science fans. If you're like me and are not particularly scientific orientated, the Perlan is nevertheless a fun and informative way of learning about Iceland and the country's nature. There is also a cafe with delicious food and interesting tea flavours - always a bonus!
The Perlan is also home to a man made ice cave which is just as good as the natural equivalents in Vatnajokull and Lofthellir, which are pretty pricey to visit (we also didn't have enough time to go on a separate tour to see them).
See you soon, Iceland! (Hopefully.) I'd definitely recommend the country if you ever get the chance to visit, it's such a beautiful and fascinating place and the Icelanders are some of the friendliest locals I've met on holiday. I would recommend seeing the country via tours because they're safer and easier ways to see a lot of the country.
