Harpa Concert Hall
Award-winning glass concert hall on Reykjavík’s waterfront and one of the city’s defining modern landmarks.
About Harpa Concert Hall
Harpa opened in 2011 and quickly became one of Reykjavík’s architectural icons. Its striking geometric glass façade was created by artist Ólafur Elíasson with Henning Larsen Architects and changes appearance constantly with the weather and light. Harpa is home to the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and hosts concerts, performances, conferences, restaurants, shops and exhibitions.
Our practical tips
✓Go inside even if you are not attending a concert.
✓Walk upstairs to see the harbour and city through the geometric glass façade.
✓Harpa works particularly well in bad weather because much of the experience is indoors.
✓Combine it with the Sun Voyager and Old Harbour waterfront walk.
