Why it's on Icebreaker

CityWalk Reykjavík

There's no better way to discover a new city than by foot, and Reykjavík is small enough to be covered that way. CityWalk's small-group tour starts in front of Hallgrímskirkja at the top of the hill and is, as the operator points out, all downhill from there. Over two and a half hours you pass the main landmarks and some well-hidden street art while the guide covers Vikings, elves, politics, the economy, architecture and local dos and don'ts, then sends you off with restaurant, bar and museum tips. Good walking tours feel more like a local friend showing you around than a tour guide, which is the stated aim here. A private version starts from your downtown hotel, is led by a history graduate and comes in five languages.

From the Icebreaker app, curated with The Reykjavík Grapevine.

About this tour

The 2.5hr Walking tour by CityWalk Reykjavik is designed especially for those who wish to get a more personal touch to their day in Reykjavik. The walk itself starts at the highest point in Reykjavík at the iconic Hallgrímskirkja and is all downhill from there! We pass by the most famous landmarks in Reykjavík one after the other. You’ll also see some of Reykjavík’s best hidden street art as we introduce you to local habits about vikings, elves, politics, economy, history, architecture and the do’s and dont’s. You’ll get the history of Iceland in a nutshell as well as recommendations on restaurants, bars and museums. The idea is to lay the foundation for the ideal trip to Iceland or to wrap up a journey of a lifetime with answers to the questions that have arisen during your stay. By the end of the walk, you’ll have a local friend and you’ve felt like you’ve seen the city in a different light.
