Welcome to The Icelandic Women Walking Tour in Reykjavik, a fascinating exploration of the city's history, culture, and the inspiring women who have helped shape it.
Over the course of this 3-hour walking tour, we'll delve into Reykjavik's & Iceland’s rich past, visiting some of its most iconic landmarks and hidden gems.
Along the way, we'll hear the stories of Icelandic women who have made history, broken barriers, and shaped the country’s culture and society.
Learn about powerful women like Vigdís Finnbogadóttir; yes, the Icelandic names are easy, but she was the world's first democratically elected female president.
And about the laws passed in Iceland, where Icelandic companies have to prove to the government that you pay equally to both men and women.
Our journey will take us to some of Reykjavik's most famous landmarks, including the stunning Hallgrímskirkja church, the colorful houses of the Old Town, and the bustling harbor.
We'll also explore lesser-known spots, like the hidden street art and graffiti, the cozy coffee shops, bookstores, gift stores, and the thriving music and arts scene.
Throughout the tour, our knowledgeable guide will share insights and anecdotes about the women who have left their mark on Reykjavik, from pioneering politicians and artists to courageous activists and entrepreneurs.
By the end of the tour, you'll have gained a deeper understanding of Iceland’s unique character and why it’s one of the most gender-equal countries in the world.
Un verre de vin, de bière, de schnaps ou tout simplement un bon café

Our next stop is the Parliament building and there we have the opportunity of discussing the role of women in politics since the establishment of Alþingi (Arguably the first Parliament in the world)
Our next stop is Reykjavik City Hall, where we have the opportunity of learning about some of the original women settlers of Iceland, like Audur the Deepminded
The beautiful view overlooking the Reykjavik pond, the birdlife and the artwork surrounding it.
There is a lovely area by the pond where sculptures made by Icelandic women are the centerpieces. This small sculpture garden bears the name “The Pearl Necklace” and is to remember the original Icelandic woman sculptors.
The Mother’s garden, as the name implies was primarily intended for mother with their children
The Water Carrier sculpture is a wonderful reminder of the hardwork that women have done in the past.
It’s fitting that the main shopping street of Reykjavik is name Laugavegur, Pool road as the women carried laundry from old town Reykjavik to wash them in the geothermal pools at Laugardalur (hot spring valley).
There is time for small sweet Icelandic tastings on our tour
The main landmark of Iceland is worth visiting and of course the role of women in Icelandic religion.
We take advantage of the opportunity to visit the belltower, which offers spectacular views of Reykjavik. Did you know that 2 out of 3 church bells bear women’s names?
