This historic house stands out for both its architectural and historical importance. It was here that, in 1986, U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev met and officially marked the end of the Cold War. The house is not open to visitors, but it's worth spending some time exploring the exterior.
Designed by Jón Gunnar Árnason and unveiled in 1990, Sólfar is a gleaming stainless steel sculpture resembling a Viking ship. Located along Reykjavík’s Sæbraut waterfront, it symbolizes hope, exploration, and the sun. Often photographed at sunrise or sunset, visiting the sculpture's platform offers stunning views of Mt. Esja and Faxaflói Bay.
