In evidenza

Iceland has a great story. Brave settlers, honest politics, a beacon of equality, innocent people living with dramatic nature. Every other tour in Reykjavík will be happy to tell you that story. This is not that tour. Uncomfortable Iceland is a history walk through central Reykjavík for those who want to understand the real history behind Iceland's carefully curated national identity. Led by a local professional historian and experienced storyteller, this walk systematically picks apart the myths, half-truths and deliberate silences that make up the official version of Icelandic history. No prior knowledge of Icelandic history is required. You just need to be curious and open to having your assumptions challenged. Your guide will lead you through the context of each story before revealing how and why it has been distorted, suppressed or simply never told.

Itinerario

  1. Meet Iceland's most famous Viking. The story we tell about him — and the story we don't.

    15 min

  2. Iceland became a global symbol of standing up to the banks in 2008. The myth is inspiring but the reality is much more uncomfortable.

    15 min

  3. Jewish refugees turned away and state sponsored racism. The Icelanders who collaborated with the Nazis — and the government that brought them home. Whaling and fishing. Iceland's most contentious industry and one of its most complicated history.

    30 min

  4. Faith, power and the criminalisation of desire. From the Lutheran Reformation to modern scandals. Church and state is not a simple story here.

    15 min

  5. Iceland was a Danish colony. But the story Icelanders tell about that relationship is more complicated than victimhood.

    15 min

  6. Meet one of the most famous Icelanders you've never heard of. His sculptures are in the world's greatest museums. Iceland hid him in a park corner.

    10 min

  7. The myth of Iceland as a paradise of equality.

    15 min

About Reykjavik

Reykjavík, la capitale più settentrionale del mondo, è una città colorata e compatta di arte e musica che si apre sui paesaggi vulcanici islandesi.

La chiesa di Hallgrímskirkja, con la torre ispirata alle colonne di basalto, si innalza sopra strade di case dipinte con colori vivaci. Giù al porto, la sala da concerti Harpa, dalle facciate di vetro, scintilla sull'acqua, e la scultura Sun Voyager guarda il mare verso il monte Esja. Laugavegur, la principale via dello shopping, è fiancheggiata da negozi di design, caffè e bar.

Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
