Don't miss this unique chance to book a vacation package that combines travel to Reykjavík with a guided city walk from Pink Iceland exploring the roots of LGBTQIA+ history in the capital of Iceland.

You'll discover how and where queer history in Reykjavík began and how the journey toward equality has evolved over the decades.

Along the way, you'll visit historic venues, gathering places and many other sites of interest. The walk begins at the Pink Iceland office and leads you through the old center of town with stops including Alþingi (Parliament), Iceland’s Cathedral, Hotel Borg, the city’s oldest street, and Reykjavík’s oldest house which once used to house a gay bar. Along the way you'll get to know many other sites rich in stories and symbolism.

As all good tours should, the city walk starts with a welcome drink. The tour also ends on a social hour if the group is up for that afterwards, offering a relaxed setting to ask questions and chat.
The included tour starts from Skólavörðustígur 16, 101 Reykjavík.
