The Icelandic Women Walking Tour in Iceland

여기가 출발점이다

Ingólfstorg

Parliament House (Althingishus)

Our next stop is the Parliament building and there we have the opportunity of discussing the role of women in politics since the establishment of Alþingi (Arguably the first Parliament in the world)

Reykjavik City Hall

Our next stop is Reykjavik City Hall, where we have the opportunity of learning about some of the original women settlers of Iceland, like Audur the Deepminded

Lake Tjornin

The beautiful view overlooking the Reykjavik pond, the birdlife and the artwork surrounding it.

Lake Tjornin

There is a nice area by the pond where sculptures made by Icelandic women are the center pieces. This small sculpture garden bears the name "The Pearl Necklace" and is to remember the original Icelandic sculpturists.

Mæðragarðurinn

Vatnsberinn (Water Carrier)

The Water Carrier sculpture is a wonderful reminder of the hardwork that women have done in the past.

Bríetarbrekka

Laugavegur

It's fitting that the main shopping street of Reykjavik is name Laugavegur, Pool road as the women carried laundry from old town Reykjavik to wash them in the geothermal pools at Laugardalur (hot spring valley).

Taste Of Iceland

There is time for small sweet Icelandic tastings on our tour

Hallgrimskirkja

• The main landmark of Iceland is worth visiting, and of course the role of women in Icelandic religion.
• We take advantage of the opportunity to visit the belltower, which offers spectacular views of Reykjavik. Did you know that 2 out of 3 church bells bear women's names?

Skolavordustigur

We have several possible stops on this street, for example to look at the beautiful handcraft at Handprjónasambandið (The Handknitters Accociation of Iceland).
