As I mentioned previously, the Best Western Plus is located in the heart of Reykjavik, just a 15 minute walk away from Rainbow Street which is one of the main streets in the city…
Unfortunately, many shops and restaurants in and around the Rainbow Street area possess steps at the entrance making it key to plan your route to avoid endless rolling to find an accessible restaurant.
Our first point of interest was the majestic Hallgrimskirkja. However, during our walk to said structure, one came across some commotion with people standing in the middle of the road taking photos. At first, one thought it was some fellow tourists but as we turned the corner we were greeted by this:
It never ceases to amaze what one comes across on these travels!
Of course, this was overshadowed by the Hallgrimskirkja which stands proud over the Reykjavik skyline…
The ground floor of the Hallgrimskirkja is wheelchair accessible. However, if one wishes to venture up the tower, wheelchair users can only access the 8th floor. As a result, disabled individuals can enter for a discounted price.
In true tourist fashion, one then asked for directions to the next point of interest, Reykjavik City Hall. The modern nature of the structure makes for an easy roll around it’s exterior…
Tomorrow, we are plan to head to Reykjavik harbour for a whale watching tour. In addition, there is a small chance that the Northern Lights will be visible in the evening. However, it is forecast to snow all evening so let’s see what happens!
