In celebration of the fact that summer has finally arrived, Reykjavík City Museum is offering a guided tour in Icelandic sign language in Viðey on Saturday, 7 June at 13:15. Sigurlín Margrét Sigurðardóttir, sign language guide, will lead visitors around the island, which is a true natural gem in the city, with deep historical roots and cultural significance. This makes the island a unique and fascinating destination for enjoyment, outdoor activities and adventure. We will be sailing from Skarfabakki at 13:15, so it is a good idea to arrive on time at the pier where Sigurlín will meet you. The walk takes about an hour and you can take the ferry back at 14:30 or 15:30. All speakers of Icelandic sign language are warmly welcome. The tour is free, but you must pay for the ferry. Please buy your ferry ticket in advance on the Elding website: https://elding.is/videy-ferry-skarfabakki The round-trip ferry fare is 2.160 kr. for disabled people, 2.400 kr. for adults and 1.200 kr. for children 7 – 17 years old accompanied by an adult. Children 6 years old and younger travel free (note: only three children can be booked per adult.) We would like to remind you that holders of the Reykjavík Culture Card receive a 10% discount on the Viðey ferry and holders of the City Card (Citycard.is) travel free. Viðey is part of Reykjavík City Museum - One museum in five unique places. Accessibility: To get to Viðey, take a ferry from Skarfabakka in Sundahöfn. You enter the ferry via a gangway that varies in steepness depending on the tide. As a result, accessibility for people with reduced mobility is severely limited. Viðey is a protected area and there are historic buildings, outdoor recreation areas, beaches and outdoor art. A visit to the island involves considerable outdoor activity. It is good to keep in mind that it can be windier on the island than on land. https://borgarsogusafn.is/access Event photo: Juliette Rowland
