Itinerary
Your tour begins at Ingólfur Square by Hlöllabátar sandwich shop
Meet your guide outside Hlöllabátar fast food, facing Ingólfstorg Square by the two tall stone pillars. Take a breath, look around, and get ready to wander through downtown Reykjavík with a plan for sweet stops.
Stroll through the city center and spot “nammi"
Walk the cozy streets and scan shop windows for pastries and candy. Your guide points out local snack habits and explains what “nammi” means, so you understand what Icelanders crave when the sweet tooth hits.
Nibble pastries at a local bakery
Step into a bakery and bite into Icelandic favorites like kleina, a local donut, and snúður, an icelandic cinnamon bun, chosen by the season and the day. As you taste, your guide breaks down what you’re eating, from the dough to the spice.
Try chocolate and candy with Icelandic twists
Next, visit a sweet shop and sample Icelandic chocolate and candy, sometimes with sweet, mild licorice. Compare flavors as you go, and learn why these combinations show up again and again in Reykjavík treats.
Savor a final ice cream stop
Then cool off with ice cream at a local spot, where the menu can surprise you. Your guide helps you pick a flavor, and shares practical tips on where to come back later when you want dessert on your own.
Your tour ends at Hlöllabátar
Return to your starting point with a happy, sugar-bright list of places worth revisiting. Leave knowing what to order, what to skip, and how Reykjavík’s sweets fit into everyday local life.
