Overview

This walk, run by the Reykjavik Food Walk team, runs for roughly two hours to two and a half hours through central Reykjavik. The group meets by the Reykjavik Pond, outside the Idno Culture House, and finishes on Arnarholl hill a short walk from the start.

Along the route you get a snack, either an Icelandic hot dog on the spot or a voucher to use later during your stay, plus your own Becoming Icelandic Passport, which is listed among the inclusions. The walk is designed so most travellers can join, with a cap of 20 people per departure. Pushchairs are fine and service animals are welcome, though the tour is not wheelchair accessible and anyone who struggles with extended walking should think twice.

Confirmation arrives at the time of booking, and the meeting point sits near public transportation, which helps with getting there. Budget for tips separately, as gratuities are not included.
