Probably the most photographed monument in Iceland. If you go to Reykjavík you should get yourself photographed in front of the church. You can also up to the top of the tower and get a great view over the city.

I enjoyed the visit in the later afternoon, when the sun was pinky-orange-golden, certainly also go to the tower to see the overview of the whole city.
