The Old Harbour is where Reykjavík meets the sea. Harpa’s glass rises at its eastern end beside The Reykjavik EDITION; whale-watching boats leave from the quays; and to the west, on the Grandi pier, old fish sheds now hold museums, design shops and the Grandi Mathöll food hall beside the working fish market.
Sights
Harpa, Whales of Iceland, FlyOver Iceland, Aurora Reykjavík and the Saga Museum.
