Situated along Reykjavik’s scenic waterfront, Hofdi House is a whitewashed, traditional wooden building that epitomizes turn-of-the-century Icelandic architecture. This historic site gained global attention in 1986 when it hosted the summit between US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, marking a pivotal moment in the Cold War. Today, visitors can admire the building’s charming exterior and take in the serene waterfront views, making it a popular spot for photography.
