About this activity

This arts & culture is one of the standout things to do in Reykjavík, Iceland. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €231 per person. The history of Icelandic Punk music and how it affected our culture

Journey back in time to a Reykjavík that was neither hip nor happening, and discover how the arrival of punk changed Icelandic culture forever. Explore forgotten sites and hidden history while hearing stories of legendary concerts and the sheer lengths early punks went to to build a booming subculture on an arctic island that was—at the time—truly isolated from the rest of the world. You may even hear exclusive anecdotes from Björk herself that have never appeared in print.


The tour is led by an Icelandic musician, former radio host with over 30 years of experience in the Icelandic music history. If time allows, he is always happy to sit down after the tour to discuss the legacy of Icelandic punk and music in general and answer all your questions.

We end at the legendary Punk Museum where you explore the history in photos and pose with some actual instruments used by the punk generation in Iceland.

Best time to visit

Reykjavík is rewarding year-round, but spring and early autumn typically bring the most comfortable temperatures and thinner crowds than peak summer. Morning departures tend to be quieter and cooler; booking ahead is recommended in high season as popular arts & culture slots in Reykjavík sell out.
