The Old Harbour

The Old Harbor, also known as Reykjavik Harbour, is a historic area located in the center of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. The harbor has played an important role in the city's history, as a center of commerce and shipping for many centuries.
Old Harbor is home to many businesses, including restaurants, shops, and museums. Visitors to the area can explore the Reykjavik Maritime Museum, which tells the story of Iceland's seafaring history, or tour the harbor aboard one of the many boats that depart from the pier.
One of the most popular attractions in the Old Port is the Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Convention Center. The building, designed by Danish firm Henning Larsen Architects, has a distinctive geometric design and is lit at night with colorful LED lights. The concert hall hosts a wide range of events, including concerts, theatrical performances, and conferences.
Old Harbor is also a popular spot for fishing and whale watching. Visitors can book a tour to catch a glimpse of the many different species of whales that can be found off the coast of Iceland, including humpback and killer whales.
In addition, the harbor is a popular spot for seagull watching as well as the Northern Lights in winter. The harbor is also the departure point for several excursions, such as the Golden Circle, the Reykjanes Peninsula, and the Blue Lagoon.
The Old Port area is also home to many restaurants and cafes, many of which serve traditional Icelandic dishes such as fish and lamb dishes as well as seafood. Guests can also find international food options and street food stalls in the area.
