Iceland Culture Tours & Activities

Iceland was first settled in AD 874 by the Norwegian chieftain Ingolfur Arnarson. Over the following centuries, Iceland culture was influenced by Norwegians, the Danish and the Gaels from Ireland.  Most Icelanders are the descendants of Norse and Gaelic settlers.

Iceland's culture is rooted in Norse heritage and mythology which has left a lasting influence on most aspects of Iceland culture from traditional cuisine, poetry, jewelry and, music to the medieval Icelandic sagas.  Given the country's isolation, Iceland's cultural roots are still present even today, providing a unique window into Nordic history.
