Reykjavik: The War Tour – World War 2 City Walking Tour
Iceland in World War II - A walking tour of Key locations of the British Invasion Plus the aftermath of the British and US Occupations
We follow in the footsteps of the British invasion of Iceland, using period photos and videos to take us back in time to it. Despite the serious subject this tour is lighthearted and also looks at the social and cultural effects of World War 2 in Iceland.
Subjects we talk about include;
– US Military Presence
– The Arctic Convoys
– Changes in diet
– Relationships between Icelanders and foreign soldiers
We start the walking tour in Austurvollur, the city square, outside Hotel Borg.
We go whatever the weather and are outside the whole time, so please dress appropriately for the day!
