Cemetery Holavallagardur, Reykjavik

An absolutely beautiful cemetery and peaceful place to walk and reflect. There’s a little placard with information about the history of the cemetery. This place has character that a lot of cemeteries lack. We were also fortunate to see tulips in the summertime growing beautifully and strong next to one of the graves and even a little bumblebee sleeping inside one of them.

Lush, old and spiritual. Beautiful site for a peaceful stroll.

wow! What a cemetery! It really matches the vibe of the area and indeed the greater island of Iceland, in that it is somewhat bleak but beautiful, not much color but when you come across splashes of it you really notice it. It had an area for Brits that fought during the war which I was not expecting. Nice views over some of the city and a great place for a wonder in general. Really not to be missed when visiting a new place is to see how the dead are kept. Lots of history here.

An amazingly atmospheric graveyard encapsulating Reykjavik's history and traditions. If you happen to wander around Tjornin Lake then pay a visit and try to catch the sunset beams of light.

This is a hidden gem in the city. Full of trees and beautiful grave markers we enjoyed a quiet and contemplative stroll through the oldest cemetery in Reykjavik.
