Reykjavik and Viking Culture

Iceland and Greenland

7 Days / 2 locations in Iceland and Greenland

Experience the capital of Iceland – a modern metropolis. Reykjavik was founded by the Vikings and the Icelandic society still is under influence of the Viking spirit, which they brought further west more than 1000 years ago when they settled in South Greenland. Today the ruins bare witness of their farms and churches. You will visit the old Viking settlements and experience the Arctic nature, which is quite different to what you have seen in Iceland. A stay in Reykjavik combined with a visit to South Greenland is a superb blend of these two North Atlantic destinations.
