I like some murals, some quirky sculptures, 
couple of churches and a delightful lunch of monk fish on a bed of parsnip puree. 
Hallgrimskirkja is a Lutheran parish church designed by Guojon Samuelsson in 1937, who was inspired by the fascinating shapes created when lava cools into basalt rock. 
Dramatic statue of Ingiborg Bjarnason (1867 – 1941), an Icelandic politician, suffragist, schoolteacher and gymnast – the first woman to become a member of the Althing, the parliament of Iceland. A bust in memory of Bishop Jon Vidalin (1666-1720), at the side of the modest Reykjavik Cathedral, that was wonderfully craggy. 
Iceland, a small Scandinavian country (population: 334,000 and 40 political parties) is in a tourism boom, welcoming nearly 1.8 million visitors last year alone. I will be falling under its spell, and flooding social media and blog with geyser, volcano, and glacier pics galore.
Unfortunately, WWII saw the high times come to an end and the city’s rich ethnic balance destroyed with the extermination of the Jewish population 
The famous film school founded in 1948 
Constructed in 1887-1888 the neo-renaissance Grand was originally the work of Ludwik Meyer, though the building saw sweeping renovations (including an extra floor) in 1913, courtesy of the architect Dawid Lande – a man whose designs deeply influenced the appearance of Piotrkowska. Functioning as a hotel for over 100 consecutive years, the building has in the past sheltered an A-Z of heroes and villains, including Isadora Duncan, Roman Polański, Tito and Himmler.
Oh and my last visit to ANY church in Poland, and Łódź’s largest church, the Cathedral.
