Pickup in the great Reykjavik area in an comfortable vehicle
We pick up in the great Reykjavik area in a comfortable vehicle to start our Christmas journey
The Christmas Market at Heiðmörk
We’ll start at the Christmas Market in Heiðmörk Nature Reserve, where you can browse artisan stalls, enjoy seasonal treats, and soak in the serene winter landscape. But keep your eyes open—rumor has it that Iceland’s Yule Lads, the playful Icelandic “Santas,” may be wandering around, ready to share their unique holiday spirit… or even cause a bit of mischief!
Our next stop is the Christmas Village in Hafnarfjörður
Next, we head to the Christmas Village, Jólaþorpið, in Hafnarfjörður. Here, festive wooden stalls, handmade gifts, and Icelandic treats create a warm holiday atmosphere. But don’t be too comfortable—you might even catch a glimpse of the legendary Grýla, the troll mother of the Yule Lads, who’s known for her fearsome reputation!
The Festive Spirit of Downtown Reykjavik
Finally, we journey to Downtown Reykjavik, where you can skate on the Christmas Ice Rink, explore the Little Christmas Store, and delight in holiday displays. Along the way, you’ll spot the ferocious Christmas Cat, known for prowling around during the season and looking for anyone without new clothes for the holiday! But don’t worry, we’ve got a cozy hot drink to keep you warm as you hear more about these Icelandic holiday tales from your guide.
