Evening walk I Viðey Monastery: 800 Years

Step back into Iceland’s medieval past with archaeologist Margrét Hallgrímsdóttir, who led the first excavation of the Viðey Monastery (1987–1995). This year marks 800 years since the monastery was founded in 1226 — and the discoveries from the dig remain some of the most remarkable evidence of monastic life in Iceland and Northern Europe.

Ferry from Skarfabakki at 20:00, returning no later than 23:00.
The event is free, but ferry tickets must be purchased — buying ahead is recommended.
