City Vibes
Largest church in Iceland with great architecture. You can take the elevator to the very top which offers great views of the city. (Small Note: There’s an entry fee to go to the top)
Hallgrímskirkja Church

Rainbow street in Reykjavík
Very cool building, especially at night. I went in but didn’t do much but would have loved to explore more of what they have here
