Whether you seek an exhibit, a concert, a reading, a lecture, a workshop, or simply a new experience, the calendar is always full. The Reykjavík Culture Card makes it easy to enjoy everything the city offers.

Reykjavík Culture Card

The Reykjavík Culture Card is your gateway to the city's cultural life. The card includes 14 museums, 50+ exhibits, 300+ events, a library card and numerous offers.

Want to get your events out there?

Anyone can submit events to the city's event calendar.

Submitted events appear on City Life at borginokkar.is and are also available for other platforms to pull from — visir.is and the GJUGG app, for example, both draw their event listings from the same source.
