Harpa is in the centre of Reykjavík, by the old harbour. If you are coming by car, then you can access Harpa via Sæbraut. If you are on foot, you can either use the convenient pedestrian crossing over Tryggvagata or approach along the sea-shore and enjoy spectacular views of the building.
Harpa offers a car park with 545 spaces – so you should have no problem finding somewhere to park. The car park is well lit with direct access into the building. Please note that disabled parking is available next to the entry doors from the car park into the building. There is no parking outside Harpa’s main entrance except for quick drop-offs.
There is a parking fee for using the car park from 7 am to 2 am, which can be paid at one of the three parking meters (the meters take cash and credit cards). Parking tickets should then be displayed in the front windscreen of the car.
Parking tickets can also be purchased at the box office on the ground floor of the building. Note that there is a penalty for cars not displaying a ticket.
