Reykjavik Photo Gallery / Pictures - Reykjavik, Iceland, IS

Reykjavik photos and image gallery: Day trippers often find themselves heading to the nearby steamy turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon (geothermal spa). One of Iceland's most famous and popular attractions, the Blue Lagoon is situated within a lava field in neighbouring Grindavik, on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

Reykjavik photos and image gallery: The waters of the Blue Lagoon Spa are rich in a variety of different minerals, such as sulphur and silica. People bathe at the Blue Lagoon to take advantage of the water's reputed medicinal qualities. Average water temperatures are usually around 40°C / 104°F.

Reykjavik photos and image gallery: The attractive Icelandic cityscape of Reykjavik is further enhanced by its setting alongside the shores of Faxaflói Bay and the distant mountainous backdrop.

Reykjavik photos and image gallery: A number of prominent straight roads divide the city into neighbourhoods and lead towards the bayfront.

Reykjavik photos and image gallery: Views of the skyline show just how large and eye-catching the Hallgrimskirkja (Church of Hallgrimur) actually is.

Reykjavik photos and image gallery: The enormous Hallgrimskirkja (Church of Hallgrimur) is the fourth-tallest manmade structure in the whole of Iceland and was designed to resemble the country's distinctive basalt lava flows.

Reykjavik photos and image gallery: Many tourists do not realise that the church bell tower / spire of the Hallgrimskirkja also doubles up as an observation tower and comes complete with a viewing deck, which can be reached by using a convenient lift / elevator. Expect to find some of the best city and mountain views possible.

Reykjavik photos and image gallery: A series of green spaces surround the outskirts of the city and contrast with the high concentration of buildings within the city centre itself.
