A nice sculpture along the sea front. When we went past it in the morning it was quiet but later in the afternoon it was quite busy and buses stopping at allow people to take an pic. Worth going for a walk past it

The Sun Voyager is located in a very scenic and picturesque place. I would also recommend reading the small description from the artist where he gives an insight into the meaning and philosophy of the work. Otherwise, it is frequently surrounded by tourists and, perhaps, becomes a bit overrated.

This sculpture is located on the edge of a section of downtown Reykjavik. As the picture shows, it is beautiful and sits on the edge of downtown shopping and the ocean. A drive-by to view it would be just fine. It is not the easiest place to locate parking. Good photo opportunity however!

No way you need here 1-2 hours as advised on TA. It's a 10 min quick photo stop. Sun Voyager is a nice, very modern art installation resembling a Viking boat. It's set on the northern shore of Reykjavik bay in honor of 200 years of its existence.

Not a long walk from Hallgrímskirkja church to the sea to find this sculpture. Very sleek and modern looking and nice views out to sea from where it is. It was ridiculously windy when we visited, so much so that we were struggling to stand up and being by the sea was almost a bit dangerous so we didn't stay long but enough time to get a few decent pics and admire the view.

Iconic sculpture overlooking Reykjavik bay looking towards the mountains, the Sun Voyager is a must if visiting the capital. A tourist magnet, so if you want a picture without folk all over it, go early morning. Absolutely free, too!

This is one of the more modern sights in Iceland. Relatively new it still is iconic already and popular. Originally it was built to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the city of Reykjavík. The Sun Voyager was unveiled on Sæbraut on the birthday of the city of Reykjavík, August 18th, 1990. It is a pretty sight, with the city or the water and the hills in the back. Depending on the angle. It's a nice little walk here along the water. A peaceful, quiet walk without many visitors. But here at the sculpture they all come together. But we were here pretty early in the morning around 9.30am. Some people, but easy to get some got shots of the impressive sculpture. So, if you're in Reyjkavik, then surely this is a must-see.

We have been to see this sculpture several times since being in Reykjavik.. Not really for the sculpture, but just as part of what seems to be a daily walk now. What you don't expect when you see it for the first time is just how stunning the back-drop is. The mountains in the background make this seem even more special.

Great sculpture which celebrates Reykjavík’s 200th birthday in 1986. No effort required to see it as you’ll walk right past it on the harbour from as you go towards the concert hall. Great for a photo opportunity. We stopped to see it on an extremely cold and windy day in December. Be quick to take a pic if you remove a glove….can get very cold 🥶

The Sun Voyager is really beautiful, and the view beyond it, out across the sea and to the mountains, is really breathtaking. If you want a photo of it with no one else in, you'll have to be lightning fast because it can get quite busy with tourists, but just standing and taking in the view is glorious. I'd say the suggest duration of 1-2 hours is exaggerated/inflated, and I would say 10-15 minutes, at most, would suffice in winter (it was a face chiller the day I went!).
