What the experts agree on

This striking postmodern building floats over Lake Tjörnin with moss-covered concrete walls and tinted glass. The lakeside setting is serene—grab coffee at the café and watch the water, especially nice when weather turns cold.

"Don't miss the Reykjavik City Hall, a striking modernist building that appears to float on Tjörnin Pond. This place isn't just a government building; it's also an architectural landmark."
