This live stream looks over Austurvöllur, the small square in the heart of Reykjavík where the parliament and the old town meet. It is a useful window onto the city's daily rhythm and the changing Icelandic sky above it.
About the square
Austurvöllur sits a few steps from Lækjargata and the harbour, at roughly sea level in Iceland's capital. It is best known as the traditional gathering place for public demonstrations and celebrations, and its green lawn and statue of Jón Sigurðsson make it a fixed point of the city centre. The surrounding buildings are mostly low, painted wooden houses, typical of old Reykjavík.
What to watch for
The camera shows the square as it is, so activity depends on the hour and the season. Weekday mornings and lunchtimes tend to bring people walking through the centre, while evenings can be quieter. Because Reykjavík has long summer days and dark winter afternoons, the light changes dramatically across the year, and cloud and wind shift quickly over the bay.
Planning and nearby views
Reykjavík has a cool oceanic climate, with mild but wet and windy weather in most months and the mildest conditions from June to August. The harbour and the Miðbakki camera are a short walk away, and the Perlan viewpoints above the city offer alternative angles on the same skyline. Check the live weather block before you plan an outdoor visit.
