The house of Hövdi is an interesting architectural monument, as well. It was built in the early 20th century in the city's most sparsely populated area. The historic Art Nouveau building is marked by the residence of the famous Irish poet E. Benedikhtsson. In the second half of the 20th century, it was repeatedly used for important business meetings and contacts. The architectural monument is closed to the public, so tourists can enjoy only the appearance.
The most important religious monument is the Reykjavik Cathedral. The Cathedral surprises with its modest appearance. It was built at the end of the 18th century and is a typical monument in Danish colonial style. It more closely resembles a modest parish church. A beautiful green lawn is developed opposite the cathedral. During the warm season, it is a stamping ground for locals.

The National Museum of Iceland should become an obligatory point of any excursion program. Its expositions are devoted to a variety of historical and cultural themes. Among the most valuable exhibits of the museum is the Thor figure, which is more than 1000 years old, and the very first Bible published in Icelandic. The museum features a rich collection of antique weapons and ornaments, as well as luxurious national costumes.
