Historical tours in Iceland for young adults transport you to days gone by to see how Icelanders lived, worked, built their homes and adapted to the challenges thrown at them by the landscape as well as by world events. You can meet new people while gathering knowledge about this unique country’s past.

Iceland trips for young travellers take you to beautiful locations with chances to explore Iceland’s past in the company of fellow enthusiasts.  The country's historical centrepiece is undoubtedly Thingvellir, where the Norse settlers founded the national assembly in 930. The Icelandic turf house tradition, derived from the longhouses of its Viking settlers, is represented at different places around the island, and particularly at the Skogar Museum located near the astounding Skogafoss waterfall. In north-west Iceland, see how the Vikings used the lay of the land for defence at the Borgaviki basalt fortress.
