Sculpture & Shore Walk

At the edge of Europe, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Iceland is much more than just a small lost rock. It’s a sequence of landscapes so surreal you’d almost think they were digitally enhanced. But once you’re there, you quickly realize that nature has truly been generous to this island. As if a fairy had blessed it at birth. And surprising as it may seem, even in Reykjavik, in what is by definition an urban setting, you can still enjoy these wild landscapes that cut you off from the rest of the world. You just need to look around you to believe it. The Sculpture & Shore Walk, where you’re standing right now, is a popular walking path in the Icelandic capital. Stretching over 5 kilometers along the waterfront, it guarantees a picturesque, refreshing, and somewhat architectural stroll at any time of year. While enjoying the various artworks scattered along the path, including the Harpa and the Sólfar, you’ll marvel at this postcard-worthy scene. Facing the shore, your gaze gets lost in the vastness of the fjord, its islands, and Mount Esja in the background. If you still have words left after witnessing this spectacle, go ahead and try to tell us this place isn’t peaceful and enchanting.
