"The Sun Voyager The Sun Voyager is a sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason. The Sun Voyager is a dreamboat, an ode to the sun. Intrinsically, it contains within itself the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress, and freedom. The sculpture is located by Sæbraut, by the sea in the center of Reykjavík. I had seen this sculpture in so many photos before we went to Iceland and really wanted to see it in person. When we got there we had the most amazing sunset and the sculpture itself is very beautiful. I am really happy I got to see it."

"I stopped at the Sun Voyager (Sólfar) — Jón Gunnar Árnason’s 1990 interpretation of discovery modeled on a traditional Viking ship — which makes for an iconic seaside photo spot and a meditation on travel and exploration." - Matthew Kepnes
This is a neat photo opportunity if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t go too far out of the way for it. It’s really just the sculpture, usually crowded with lots of people, so getting a good photo is rather hard anyways. Nice views of the bay and the city though.

A landmark. Stainless steel viking ship. Perfect spot to stroll around overlooking the mountain & sea. Nothing special though. You may skip this if you do not have much time in Iceland. There are a lot more to see outside of Reykjavik.

As a testament to the roots of the country. a nice tourist attraction.
As well as a place where people can go to appreciate the beauty of the city. The area is a peaceful and relaxing place

We went for the midnight sun because of the stunning views. It’s a beautiful place to sit and watch the sunrise or sunset.

It's alright... if you want to enjoy the ocean view and walk along the shore, this is there, and there is nothing wrong with it. But I felt that you dont have to go see this just for this...

Our favorite end point of every day while we visited Iceland. Met cool people there. Took tons of pictures. Mostly, just soaked up the views and enjoyed the sunsets.
