Smallest parliament i've seen! But very nice to see such a safe and unguarded government office for a change!
A nice little urban plaza with statues right in the downtown area of Reykjavík, where you can see the parliament of Iceland and just chill on one of the benches. There are many bars and restaurants around and I recommend sitting outside (if the weather is nice) and have a beer in one of the many restaurants or hangouts that face the plaza.
This was the meeting place for a Free walking tour of the city. You can see the Parliament building just in front of it. It has lots of benches and we fed a couple of lovely, small, singing birds there. There's also a statue in the middle, of the guy who implanted the idea of Iceland being independent from Denmark. Apart from that, it's actually quite small and lacks any interesting vegetation.
Excellent park..I went here when it was covered in snow..very cool :)
Her you can feel the independence of Iceland
City park near the parliament house. Good place as a meeting point
Historic, must visit. Sign up for the free tour.
This is a popular city park with a great location between the parliament building and a series of sidewalk cafes. At the park center is a bronze statue of Jón Sigurðsson on a tall stone pedestal. Typically there is a crowd in front of this statue. The SW corner has the Black Cone monument to civil disobedience. The NE corner of the park (opposite corner from the Black Cone) which is across from the Paris cafe has interpretative signage for the history of public protests at this location. The park and its surrounding neighborhood is a nice area to explore on foot.
Pretty square justin front the Paeliament House
Perfect place for having a rest, lot of benches there.. Starting point for CityWalk
A beautiful place that feels very much like a park you'd find in Continental Europe, but these days it feels overrun with American Bros, whose boisterous vocalisings overpower everything else in the square.
Easy to find the free city walk in the city! Nice bench to sit and look at the old architecture.
Centre square of sorts where everyone ends up when the bars close at 5am. Hot dog carts.
This is a cute little square, but graffiti on the statue made it not quite as picturesque as I was hoping.
Great view over Reykjavik and a good restaurant
nice place to sit when there is sun (we have been on 13.9 and we had)
This is a nice little park with a statue of Jón Sigurdsson and right across the street from the parliament house.
