Sun Voyager Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

About 500 meters from the Harpa Concert Hall, you'll see a striking work of art right on the waterfront: the Sun Voyager. Most people believe it's a Viking ship due to Iceland's history, but the sculpture is actually meant to represent a dream ship. Made of stainless steel, it's a celebration of the sun. The work of art represents hope, freedom, and progress. Sun Voyager can be found on the waterfront promenade near the city center and is a great place to photograph, especially at sunset when the water reflects off the sculpture. Between the Sun Voyager and the historic Höfði House, you can take a relaxing stroll and discover even more works of art.

Mánaleiõ bike lane

Highlight • Cycleway

A fully paved coastal promenade with a separate bike path and pedestrian path, perfect for cycling or walking along the seafront without traffic. It runs along Faxaflói Bay from the Old Port and Harpa, past the iconic Sun Voyager sculpture, to Laugardalur in the east or Grótta Lighthouse in the west. This flat, safe stretch offers views of Esja Mountain and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula on clear days, offering spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Ideal for biking, rollerblading, or leisurely strolling, with benches and photo stops along the way.
