Did you know the Reykjavík capital area has 14 different areas to explore? Around the Old Harbour and Grandi, fishing boats sit beside museums, cafés and curious new ideas. Scan the water for whales, climb Þúfa for a different view and listen to harbour stories at the Reykjavík Maritime Museum. There is usually time for something sweet afterwards.

Tiptoe through Reykjavík’s past, one story at a time.

Start beneath the streets at Aðalstræti, follow the city towards the harbour, step into old photographs and historic houses, then keep going through sagas, objects and handwritten words.

No need to fit it all into one day. Pick a chapter, take your time, and see where it leads.

 

The Settlement Exhibition — LANDNÁMSSÝNINGIN

Start underneath Reykjavík. At Aðalstræti, the remains of a 10th-century longhouse sit below today’s city streets. A good place to begin before following the story onwards.



Reykjavík Maritime Museum — Sjóminjasafnið í Reykjavík

Follow Reykjavík’s story towards the sea. Fishing, boats and harbour life shaped the city for generations — and the harbour is still right outside when you’re done.



Reykjavík Museum of Photography — LJÓSMYNDASAFN REYKJAVÍKUR

Streets change. Clothes change. Hairstyles definitely change. See Reykjavík across generations through the photographs that caught everyday life along the way. The museum is part of Reykjavík City Museum.



Árbær Open Air Museum — ÁRBÆJARSAFN

Walk into another Reykjavík. Old houses and buildings gathered at Árbær hold stories from everyday city life — best explored without much hurry.



National Museum of Iceland — Þjóðminjasafn Íslands / National Museum of Iceland

Widen the story from Reykjavík to Iceland as a whole. Objects from across the centuries reveal how people lived, worked and adapted — including the wonderfully ordinary things.



Saga Museum — Sögusafnið / Saga Museum

Settlers, voyages and a fair amount of drama. The Saga Museum brings key moments from Iceland’s past to life through full-size scenes and characters.



World in Words —

Did you know the Reykjavík capital area has 14 different areas to explore? At Seltjarnarnes and Grótta, the city gives way to salt air, bird calls and a wide horizon. Check the tide before walking towards Grótta Lighthouse, dip your feet into the warm Kvika footbath and look up after dark. The northern lights sometimes arrive without an appointment.

25/08/2026

Did you know the Reykjavík capital area has 14 different areas to explore? Öskjuhlíð is where woodland paths curl around one of Reykjavík’s most recognisable buildings. Walk beneath the trees, visit Perlan and continue down towards Nauthólsvík geothermal beach. Forest, ice and warm seawater in one afternoon. Reykjavík likes variety.

Did you know the Reykjavík capital area has 14 different areas to explore? Hafnarfjörður is built between old lava, colourful houses and stories of hidden people. Walk beside Lake Hvaleyrarvatn, explore the harbour and ask a local where the elves live. You may receive directions. You may receive a very long story.
