About This Tour in Reykjavik

Get ready for a fun and feline-filled adventure through the streets of Iceland’s capital. This self-guided walking tour is all about Reykjavík’s beloved cats—past and present. You’ll explore the city’s history and culture through the eyes of its furriest residents, with stops at cat-themed murals, cosy shops with resident felines, and even Reykjavík’s one and only cat café, Kattakaffihúsið, where you can relax with a coffee and meet adoptable rescue cats. Along the way, you’ll hear surprising facts, folklore, and stories about cats in Iceland and around the world—from Viking-era pets to mythical creatures like the Yule Cat and Freyja’s giant feline chariot-pullers.
