Explore Harpa

Harpa’s glass facade changes with the light, reflecting the harbour, sky and city around it. Designed with artist Ólafur Elíasson and Henning Larsen Architects, the concert hall is worth visiting for its public spaces as well as its performances. Walk around the exterior, then look for the shifting patterns inside. A concert or guided tour adds another layer to the visit, while the waterfront setting makes it easy to combine Harpa with a longer stroll along the shore.
