Description

Go at your own speed on this city walking tour of Reykjavik. The schedule is up to you as you stroll through the town, accompanied by an audio guide that plays at exactly the right time thanks to GPS technology. Stop by the most important sites and learn about the city’s history along the way. The tour begins at one of Reykjavik’s most iconic landmarks, Hallgrimskirkja, the city's main church. The pre-set route will take you past sites like the distinctive Harpa concert hall with its harbor views, Reykjavík City Hall, the National Parliament, and Landakotskirkja (Landakot's Church). As you walk, let a guide tell you about each landmark’s significance, while giving context about Iceland’s Nordic history and traditions. The commentary will stop and start according to your live location, so you can focus on your surroundings. You’ll end the walk at the Cabinet House, the site of the Prime Minister’s offices.
