Suggestions for Arts and Entertainment near Reykjavik

Justin • January 18, 2015Amazing building inside and out. Interesting shops and cafe areas. Worth even just a wander through to get a look at the incredible structure from the inside!

M W. • November 18, 2014Must see when in Reykjavik. Fantastic setting with the perfect blend of man-made and natural.

Hrönn J. • February 6, 2016Fun place to visit especially with tourists from around the world. Nice people who works there and the whole little village has such a great history.

einar örn b. • November 28, 2009go see brennuvargar

María Inés F. • October 29, 2017Good exhibition, really well explained! Also the gift shop is pretty nice and there is a cozy cafe

Michael L. • November 4, 2012Being inside this building is like being inside a quiet, vast, glacier. Rich, dark, volcanic basalt line the inner walls; sculptured glass form the outer case. Beautiful. Go to the 5th floor view.

Jorge P. • May 27, 2015Awesome place, awesome decoration. Regular music.

Juraj I. • June 7, 2015spacious place with interesting exhibitions. much more worth the time and the money than the national gallery.

Stephanie • December 30, 2016One of the nicest concert halls I've been in. Head upstairs for seats or slide in on the ground floor to get close to the stage.

Andrés M. • April 1, 2021Definitely one off the finest the restaurants in Reykjavík (prices not too extortionate). By the harbour, out in the fish packing district, a nice walk from the city centre. If windy/rainy, get a cab.

Silvia Stella O. • August 8, 2013Great indie theatre in Reykjavik! All their movies have subtitles in english, and the guys are really nice suggesting you what's on too! :)

New York P. • July 1, 2018Inside the Kex Hostel. I normally wouldn’t go to a hostel for dinner/drink but this place has a cool Ace Hotel vibe. The fried chicken is boneless and enough for 2 light eaters.

Jófríður • April 9, 2014Designed by master architect Alvar Aalto, Reykjavík’s Nordic House is a sight to behold & a great destination for an afternoon walk w/ an exquisite view of the city. Hosts art exhibitions & concerts.

Hannah K. • July 25, 2019Love this place! The ice cave was amazing. Cool exhibits and wonderful view from the rooftop.

Bstar • July 4, 2021Good leather chairs and sound. Take a note that in a middle there will be a pause to get extra snacks 😁

Debbie D. • August 17, 2014Saw an evening performance of music & philosophy combined into an amazing thoughtful work of art.

Carl G. • November 28, 2015Lovely venue to catch a show.

Leon H. • October 31, 2013Amazing venue, incredible sound.

Agnar S. • October 21, 2010Best movie theater in the world

Stephanie • December 30, 2016Small but worthy, admission from hafnarhus is good here, too and the installations are well put together.

Robbie G. • January 6, 2013Small, good quality exhibitions and free admission in the heart of Reykjavik. What more do you want?

Mat T. • March 14, 2014Good rock venue. The sound and lighting was pro. Beer was a little pricey but there was no cover for seeing 3 bands. Watch your head!

abigail. • February 5, 2018Worth the trip, very interesting if small museum with excellent sculptures on display.

Hrönn S. • May 20, 2011Popp með ostasósu!!!! Mmmm

Fukejř🧗 M. • October 14, 2018You can literally feel the great Icelandic history here! Worth to see it. It's perfectly produced.

Gabriel S. • June 11, 2022All modern art & not particularly interesting modern art either. There were 4 temporary exhibitions when I visited & no permanent collection

Hildur Z. • July 24, 2011happy hour every day 16-20, 2 for 1 on beer and wine - has a sunny terrace in the back

Martin L. S. • January 28, 2014A warm place where budding art meets a good cup of coffee!

Michael L. • April 30, 2013So this was an interesting place, and I leaned a lot about the settlement of the island and city, it's history in shipping and fishing. But I thought it was a museum about Vikings.... It's not.
