Located in the bay area, the Harpa couldn't be situated in a better place. With views of the North Atlantic Ocean and the mountains that surround Reykjavik, this distinguished landmark has attracted local guests and also people from all over the world. It is the house of The Iceland Symphony Orchestra and The Icelandic Opera, and throughout the year various music festivals are held there all of which are very well attended.

The name of this Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre was a matter of importance for Icelandic people since they wanted a name in their language but that could also be articulated in most languages. That's when Harpa came about. The winning name was among over four thousand entries. It refers to a month in the old Nordic calendar that marks the beginning of summer and brighter times.
