We were returning to the Harpa Center frequently during our stay in Reykjavík. I was literally going in circles admiring this spectacular modern masterpiece shining in the sun, changing colors and shades adding so much character and beauty to the austere harbor. Olafur Eliasson created a real masterpiece of modern architecture gorgeous both inside and outside. If you are interested in authentic quality products, I highly recommend visiting amazing, albeit very expensive, gift shop, Rammagerdin, in the Harpa Center.

Good: The building is beautiful and well maintained. It is clean and has a public restroom in the basement. The how to be Icelandic show was enjoyable and funny for a wide crowd, but didn't elicit much of a crowd response. Bad: The show could be a bit long if you are not enjoying it. There is also not much in the building for more general tourism. One thing that surprised me is that the How to be Icelandic show was sequestered to a small side auditorium instead of the main stage. For something used to show off the property to tourists, this was a bit disappointing.

Harpa is a very beautiful and effektiv Building. It’s always special to be there. The piano concerto with Pablo Ziegler and Jose Bragato was wonderful. I hope the recent construction activies across the square do not destroy the living link between Harpa and the Harbour.

Looks fantastic from the outside with the glass panels depicting fish scales. Mirrored ceiling panals inside look cool. Nothing worth seeing inside really unless you book a concert. A great opportunity to take photos of a building in reykjavik which in itself, architecturaly, is quite bland and some what drab . Lots of buildings of different shades of gray which does actually look like one large out of town shopping/Industrial unit complex

Large glass building on the harbour. It is very smart looking and fancy shapes of glass and coloured blocks make it very unique. We didn't venture inside nor see a concert but I imagine it would be worth it for the acoustics. Worth seeing it, especially at night.

This building is by the Bay Area and it’s the music conservatory. It’s architectural beauty is in the windows which are like a bee hive. The light reflects beautifully inside and out, they are also are illuminated at night. They have all type of daily musical programs. You can also just go and visit the spaces. There’s is a fancy restaurant at the top floor and a bar, cafe and restaurant at the lobby area. We visited a temporal exhibition called Circuleight. Do not miss.

Located in a very scenic place, Harpa continues to be an admirable venue where to go and see some exhibitions during the daytime, see a concert in the evening, or observe the plays of lights reflecting on the facade during the night. Eldborg, the main hall, seems a bit futuristic since it quite gradually differs from other similar venues. Nevertheless, the acoustic is fantastic and being there already makes you feel more enlightened.

Popped in to see what the Harpa was all about only to be invited to attend a free concert by the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra playing Christmas music 🎶. It was incredible. The shop and Cafe are pretty amazing too. A must visit place if you’re in the city.

Great modern architectural building. We spent 20mins walking round. Lucky enough to hear a pianist playing in one of the lobbies. Be warned - toilets on lower floor require cash/card payment before turnstile allows you to enter. I paid, turnstile wouldn’t turn so I paid again. Each payment was £1.18!! You spend more than a penny!

Only had a walk around the main public areas as the main Hall was closed and upstairs had a private function. But omg the building has the wow factor!! I would definitley recommend a walk around to be stunned by the architecture 😍
