Reykjavík City Museum offers a guided tour of Viðey for people learning Icelandic. The tour takes place on Saturday, 14 June, from 13:15 to 15:30.
Katleen Abbeel will guide the group, speaking in clear and easy-to-understand Icelandic. Viðey is a fantastic place to enjoy nature in a unique setting — full of history, scenic coastlines, and outdoor art.
Katleen Abbeel speaks Icelandic as a second language. She’s a guide, translator, and Icelandic teacher. The tour is a great chance to practise your Icelandic in a relaxed and fun environment!
Since Viðey is an island, you'll take a ferry from Skarfabakki, departing at 13:15 and returning at 15:30 — but feel free to stay longer if you'd like.
