Austurvöllur public square - the heart of Reykjavík. A popular gathering place of citizens and focal point of political protests due to close location to Parliament.

One of few squares in downtown Reykjavík but probably the most important one. In the middle is a statue of Iceland‘s independence hero, Jón Sigurðsson. Alþingi, the parliament stands next to the square, as well as Dómkirkjan, the cathedral. During sunny days, the square fills with people enjoying the weather. Around the square are also multiple restaurants, bars and hotels.
