Hallgrimskirkja in Reykjavik
Hallsgrimskirkja looms large in the Reykjavik skyline.

Hallgrimskirkja Church is the largest church in Iceland and quite the landmark in Reykjavik. It stands 244 feet (74.5 m) tall and can be scene from just about everywhere. I start with it because it was one of the first places we visited after arriving in Iceland. A beautiful statue of Leifur Eirikson sets in front. I will mention that if you visit Hallgrimskirkja you would be remiss to not stop across the street at Cafe Loki for some Rye Bread ice cream. Hallgrimskirkja is a living church with services so be mindful.
