About this quest

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.

Highlights

  • 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

The mission: Your story in 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?
  • Family friendly

  • Route open 24/7 but better during daylight hours
