Sculpture

About This Attraction

Reykjavik Iceland

The Sun Voyager is a striking steel sculpture located along the scenic Sæbraut road in Reykjavik, Iceland. Designed by Jón Gunnar Árnason and unveiled in 1990, it resembles a ship and symbolizes dreams of hope, progress, and freedom. Positioned on the waterfront, it offers visitors panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the bay, making it a popular spot for photography.

Although there are no specific Sun Voyager opening hours since it is an outdoor art piece accessible at all times, its particularly stunning during sunrise and sunset. The site is easily reachable by foot from downtown Reykjavik, and there are nearby parking spaces for those traveling by car. While visiting, its important to respect the artwork and its surroundings to preserve it for future generations.
