Reykjavik Cat Walk
Discover a different side of Iceland’s capital on the Reykjavik Cat Walk, a unique 2-hour walking tour through downtown Reykjavík. Created especially for cat lovers, this experience combines sightseeing, Icelandic folklore and Reykjavík’s famous feline residents.
Explore the colourful streets of the city centre with a knowledgeable guide. Hear entertaining stories about cats in Iceland and discover why they hold a special place in Icelandic culture.
Discover Reykjavík’s Famous Cats
Cats have been part of Icelandic homes and stories for generations. During the walk, your guide brings this history to life through local stories, folklore and tales of magical and mischievous felines.
You will also keep watch for some of Reykjavík’s neighbourhood cats. You never know which local feline might appear around the next corner. Of course, cat sightings can never be guaranteed. Reykjavík’s cats have schedules of their own!
This makes every Reykjavik Cat Walk a little different.
Enjoy a Cosy Stop at Café Babalú
Halfway through the tour, stop at Café Babalú for a well-earned break. Enjoy a coffee or hot cocoa together with an Icelandic pastry, all included in your tour.
It is a cosy place to warm up and compare your cat-spotting successes before continuing your walk through Reykjavík.
See Reykjavík from a Different Perspective
This experience offers much more than a traditional city walk. You will discover local culture, Icelandic folklore and stories that you are unlikely to hear on a standard sightseeing tour.
The easy walking route takes you through downtown Reykjavík and finishes near Hallgrímskirkja Church and the Einar Jónsson Sculpture Garden. From there, you can easily continue exploring the capital.
The tour suits all ages. It is a fun choice for families, couples, solo travellers and anyone searching for an unusual experience in Reykjavík.
A Reykjavík Tour That Helps Local Cats
Your Reykjavik Cat Walk also supports a good cause. A portion of the proceeds from every tour goes to the Cat Protection Society, helping cats in need around Reykjavík.
For travellers searching for a unique walking tour in Reykjavík, an experience for cat lovers or simply something different to do in the city, the Reykjavik Cat Walk is a memorable choice.
