Informazioni su questa esperienza

Go on a quest around old Reykjavik, the world’s northernmost capital. 

Discover layer after layer of exciting history by following clues and solving challenges, while visiting picturesque squares, major landmarks and hidden gems. 

Your quest is to uncover the key to Reykjavik and connect to the city in a new way. Are you ready to become a local “Reykvíkingur” (a native of Reykjavik)? Join the quest.

What to Expect

This self-guided walking tour in Reykjavík combines exploration, storytelling, and puzzle-solving into one unique experience. As you navigate through the city, you will discover 13 carefully selected locations, each revealing a piece of the story.

The entire quest takes approximately 5760 minutes to complete and covers 2.6km on foot. You will move at your own pace, with the freedom to pause whenever you want to take photos, grab a coffee, or simply soak in the atmosphere.

Each location features a challenge or puzzle that unlocks the next chapter of your story. These challenges are designed to be fun and engaging while teaching you about the history, culture, and hidden gems of Reykjavík.

No tour guide needed – your smartphone becomes your guide. The Questo app provides directions, shares stories, and presents challenges along the way.

In evidenza

  • Get ready to get snap photos of some of Reykjavik’s most picturesque locations

  • Discover the first hospital, the first parliament, the first prison, the first school, the first farm and the hidden stories of these locations

  • Piece together the story of Reykjavik and understand the heart of the city

La missione: La tua storia a Reykjavík

So you are finally in Reykjavik, the world‘s northernmost capital as your late eccentric Aunt requested. She disclosed in her last letter to you that part of your heritage is Icelandic and she wants you to connect to the hometown of your ancestors. 

It seems a daunting task to understand old Reykjavik with its disorganised streets, seemingly random street names and numbering. Even the East side or Austurbær is firmly in the western part. 

Can you find the key to Reykjavik?

  • Route open 24/7 but better during daylight hours
