This tour includes the most significant places in the capital and some surrounding towns, such as the Presidential Residence at Bessastaðir, the Restaurant Perlan (the Pearl), and Höfði House where the all-important summit meeting between President Ronald Reagan and Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev took place in 1986.
We will also visit the town Hafnarfjörður, the home of “elves” and “humans” alike. We will visit an old fishing harbor, fish market (when it is open), the towering Hallgrim’s church, the University District, the Old Town Centre and Parliament Building and the New City Hall. You will also see our beautiful pond in the downtown area visited frequently with many birds.
We will be showing you sports and recreation areas in Laugardalur, a geothermal heated outdoor swimming pool, and artwork crafted by Ásmundur Sveinsson and Einar Jónsson. Weather and circumstances permitting, we can end up at the big church so that you can spend time taking the magnificent view from the top of the tower, viewing various art displays, and walking downhill approximately 10 minutes to the city centre.
Duration: 2.5 hours
