Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
A sorcerer once swam around Iceland disguised as a whale, only to be driven back by a dragon, a giant, and a colossal bird guarding the coastline. You'll find those guardians carved into the Parliament building — and that's just one of the stories waiting for you on this self-guided walking tour of Reykjavik.
Starting at the volcanic-inspired Hallgrimskirkja, this audio tour leads you through 14 stops across Iceland's capital including the Rainbow Street and a sculpture designed as an ode to the sun.
Along the way, you will hear how the Vikings established the world's oldest parliament and why Iceland has no McDonald's.
