A gallery of stunning graffiti in Reykjavik, Iceland

There really is some amazing graffiti in Reykjavik, Iceland

This past March I had to opportunity to visit Iceland and had an absolute blast. The second I landed in Reykjavik I knew I was going to have a blast and believe you me it more than met my expectations, but that is story for another time. The very first thing I noticed, while walking to my hostel, was the amount of graffiti all over the city. There was even graffiti out front of the church. After I checked in, instead of going for a quick jet lag snooze I grabbed my camera and went out to get some snaps of the stunning graffiti this city had to offer. I ended up getting really lucky as it was 6am and the streets were empty. I was able to have the streets to myself, well besides the odd drunk person. The photos I took in the gallery above are only about a quarter of the ones I took. Reykjavik has some incredible graffiti all over the city and it would probably take me a month to get them all. So if you are ever in Reykjavik, Iceland and are looking for a cheap way to take in the culture then just walk around. Every corner, alley way, lane way and street has some form of original and amazing art!
