Walk up to the Sun Voyager sculpture. It sits right by the water, facing the sea. Arrive just before the golden hour begins so you can watch the light shift over the steel form and the water.
20:24
Head inland to the seafood restaurant for dinner. Order the legendary lunch plokkfiskur special. It is a hearty, comforting dish that fits the cool evening air perfectly. The restaurant is open until 22:30 on weekends and 22:00 on weekdays.
21:24
Finish the night at a small, cozy bar nearby. The walls are covered in cross-stitched pictures from Icelandic grandmothers, giving it a unique, homey feel. It is one of the few bars with its own beer, making it a distinct spot to end your evening.
Local tip
The walk from the coast to the dinner spot is short, but Reykjavík evenings can be chilly. Dress warmly for the time at the sculpture.
