Old Harbour

Attraction Type: 
essential

Built in the early 20th century, Reykjavik’s old harbour is the starting point for whale-watching boat tours. The west side of the harbour is home to the excellent Maritime Museum, quirky Saga Museum, and Bryggjan Brugghús (an independent microbrewery), among other restaurants and cafes. On the east side corner is the very slick Harpa Concert Hall and the weekend-only Kolaportið flea market.
