The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers
Icelandic weather shifts quickly; bring a waterproof outer layer and a warm mid-layer even in summer.
Bring a secure camera strap
Tuk-tuks are open-sided—use a strap to prevent dropped phones or cameras when leaning for shots.
Plan your must-see stops
Tell your guide in advance if you prefer Perlan over Hallgrímskirkja or want extra time for cafés or shopping on Laugarvegur.
Mind short walking segments
Stops include brief climbs and pavement; wear comfortable shoes and request extra time if mobility is limited.

Conservation Note

Reykjavík began as a 9th-century Norse settlement and expanded around its harbor; many central landmarks reflect 19th–20th century civic growth and modernist architectural experiments.
