What to do and see in Miðborg, Capital Region: The Best Art Galleries

April 24, 2022 Jacquiline Darosa

Reykjavik bears the distinction of being the world’s northernmost capital, and for many Icelandic visitors it also serves as a gateway to the rugged adventure options beyond. Recharge after outdoor pursuits in one of the many geothermal springs or luxurious indoor spas. We appreciate Reykjavik’s open-minded and energetic culture that includes a hip and internationally recognized music and arts scene, great food and notoriously "enthusiastic" nightlife.

Kogga - Ceramic Studio - Gallery

In the centre where Reykjavik’s old heart beats there is a charming red house, once called Aberdeen. There, Kogga, one of Iceland’s most renowned ceramic artists, runs her studio and gallery. The artist warmly welcomes visitors to her gallery that displays unique art pieces hand crafted on the spot. Catch a glimpse of the kiln in the back, it ensures visitors to cool Iceland a very warm welcome indeed!

This is a beautiful shop that has unique designs that truly shows the artists talent and eye for design. Some things were out of my price range but I found a beautiful tiny vase that I just had to take home. Thanks for the friendly service too.

Magic Ice

An Arctic Experience in the center of Reykjavik! It is the perfect outing for all ages - welcome to an enchanting and magical adventure, a sub-zero experience that you'll never forget! The popular winter wonderland attraction is constructed from several tons of natural ice and celebrates the history of the Vikings who discovered Iceland - step inside and discover the history captured in a moment of crystal clear ice. You will receive a winter poncho and gloves to wear inside and our signature drink served at the ice-bar.

Great for the package you get a free drink, gloves and 'john snow game of thrones' cape to wear. The lad was very friendly and helpful and was a great experience, very modern great music in there -5C and is excellent even the drinks served in Ice! Really enjoyed this it was great highly recommend. With the outfits it isn't unbearable so can stay in there for a few drinks. So great experience
