The Reykjavik CatWalk blends history, folklore, humor, and local culture — all seen through the lens of Iceland’s long fascination with our feline companions. From settlement-era legends to modern city cats, this tour explores how cats have prowled through Icelandic stories, homes, and hearts for centuries.

As you stroll through the city, your guide shares myths, superstitions, and entertaining tales about cats from Iceland and around the world — including stories of magical cats, mischievous folklore creatures, and the beloved neighborhood cats that locals adore today. This experience is lighthearted, interactive, and filled with personality, making it just as fun for curious travelers as it is for devoted cat enthusiasts.

A highlight of the walk is a cozy stop at the famous Reykjavik Cat Coffeehouse, where you’ll relax with coffee or hot cocoa while meeting friendly resident cats. Enjoy Icelandic pastries as you unwind in a warm, welcoming space dedicated to feline wellbeing.

If luck is on your side, you may even spot some of downtown Reykjavik’s most famous cats roaming their favorite corners. The tour finishes in a beautiful cultural setting near Hallgrímskirkja at the sculpture garden of Einar Jónsson Sculpture Garden — a peaceful ending to a walk full of stories, laughter, and pawsitive energy.

Adding heart to the experience, part of the tour’s proceeds supports local feline welfare through The Cat Protection Society, helping care for cats in need.

This is a purr-fect way to explore Reykjavik for anyone who loves animals, folklore, and fun city walks.
