View from Hallgrímskirkja tower along Skólavörðustigur.

You can go up the tower by lift and a short flight of stairs to get magnificent views of Reykjavík. (Cost 300kr) The church is already at a high point in the city, and from the top of the tower there is an excellent view. In this picture you are looking down one of the main streets with many arts and craft shops. In the distance you can see a lake just before the sea.
