Itinerary

  • Saga Museum

    The museum is located in the old harbour area. Opening hours are from 11:00 - 15:00 every day. At the museum you will find many of the legends from the Icelandic sagas, historical figures like Snorri Sturlusson, Ingolfur Arnarson and Leif the Lucky. Learn about the disastrous Black death, the most devastating pandemic in human history, which claimed anything between 75 to 200 million people. There are 20 exhibits on display today.  Visitors have the choice to be guided through the museum with an audio device and can choose between Icelandic, English, French, German, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. The audio guide can also be bought in the form of a booklet at the front desk.  Visitors also have the opportunity to dress up as vikings and try viking weapons and armour.

Walking the past

Published on Nov, 2024

Interesting walk through the settlement of Iceland. The audio is informative, a little slow in places. The exhibits are so lifelike and the stories fun.

Spare Hour in Reykjavik

Published on Oct, 2024

We had an hour spare today during our Iceland trip and decided to try The Saga Tour. It was far better than expected with the scenes depicting the history of Iceland life and culture being so lifelike. The accompanying audio guide really brings this history to life. The 'dress like a Viking' display at the end of the tour is a must do. Even if you feel too old to get involved, it's not just for children.

Viking History

Published on Oct, 2024

Interesting tour about the Viking history. The wax figures were so life-like, I expected them to move any second. Good tour for kids.

Worth it

Published on Oct, 2024

Great origin/making of story of the museum. Fantastic staff especially the guy in the gift shop. Interesting exhibit with 30-minute guided audio tour. Outstanding figures with crazy realistic eyes. Worth it and not too busy in the middle of a beautiful October Monday.

Fun, creepy and educational

Published on Sep, 2024

I had a blast in this museum! The fee is reasonable and you’re given an audio piece for the narration. You enter a kind of creepy dungeon like place where they have displays of silicon figures that are displaying certain scenarios. The different sections are numbered and the narration goes off by the numbers. Yes it’s a little creepy in there but it’s also super educational. Nobody jumps out lol but you do get that feeling like something will- don’t worry- no jumpers. When you’re done you can try on some costumes( historically accurate ) and pose for photos. It’s all fun! I would definitely come back here- I even loved the gift shop, they have an array of beautiful jewelry for reasonable prices.
