About this experience
Private Reykjavik LGBTQ City Walk
Join us for a city walk of all the most remarkable places in downtown Reykjavik with a focus on the LGBTQ culture and history of Reykjavik.
This is a longer private version of our Walk With a Viking, Reykjavík Walking Tour where we add information and fun facts about the Icelandic LGBTQ scene.
From Nightlife to Politics through music and literature, we will learn about the Gay Culture of Reykjavik while getting a great introduction to Reykjavik and Iceland in general. We will also take a closer look at a few we'll know Icelandic gay individuals.
We will visit beautiful Insta photo-worthy places like Hallgrímskirkja church and its tower, the Sun Voyager, Harpa Concert Hall, and more.
