The Itinerary: From Paw Prints to Purr-fection

Starting Point: Ingólfur Square

Our journey begins at the pillars of Ingólfur Square, named after Reykjavik’s founding settler. Here, your cat-passionate guide will welcome you and introduce you to the surprising significance of cats in Iceland’s history.

From early Viking tales to contemporary street legends, Icelandic culture has long embraced its feline companions. You’ll hear stories of cats protecting homes from trolls, of Christmas monsters who fear the “Yule Cat,” and even explore global cat myths that have crept into Icelandic hiss-story.

Following the Paw Prints of Reykjavik

As you meander through the city, your guide will point out:

• Hidden spots where local cats are often seen lounging.
• Colorful murals and cat-themed street art.
• Bookstores and shops with their own resident kitties.
• Quirky trivia and folklore that blends mythology with feline magic.

Reykjavik is compact and walkable, and your guide—courtesy of TPO.Travel’s trusted network—is both a cultural storyteller and a devoted cat enthusiast, making each stop feel like part of a narrative straight out of a feline fairy tale.

A Visit to the Reykjavik Cat Coffeehouse

One of the undeniable highlights is your visit to the Reykjavik Cat Coffeehouse, Iceland’s only dedicated café for cat lovers. Here, the experience reaches a cozy, warm crescendo as you:

• Sip on coffee, tea, or hot cocoa
• Sample traditional Icelandic pastries
• Pet and play with adoptable or resident cats
• Snap a few selfies with Reykjavik’s fluffiest locals

It’s a moment of calm, reflection, and fur-filled happiness—especially during the cooler months, when the warm drinks and soft purring are most appreciated.

Meet Reykjavik’s Most Famous Felines

Throughout the walk, and especially near neighborhoods where cats are known to roam, your guide will try to introduce you to some of Reykjavik’s most well-known street cats, including:

• Baktus – the black-and-white gentleman known for lounging on bookstore doorsteps.
• Jonsi – the ginger fluffball with a loyal local following.
• Ofelia – the elusive beauty who makes occasional appearances near Hallgrimskirkja.

Of course, cat sightings aren’t guaranteed—but with any luck, and the blessings of the cat gods, you’re likely to meet a few furry friends along the way.

Final Destination: The Statue Garden of Einar Jónsson

Your final stop is the serene Statue Garden behind Hallgrimskirkja Church, one of Reykjavik’s most iconic landmarks. Here, among the sculptures by Icelandic artist Einar Jónsson, you’ll wrap up the tour with a few final tales of Icelandic folklore, including stories of shape-shifting cats and mystical beasts.

It’s a quiet, thoughtful conclusion that ties together mythology, nature, and Icelandic artistry—all under the gentle gaze of the city’s most famous cathedral.
