THE LATE VIEW
Open daily from 13.00 to 20.00
Our ever popular Viking feast from 20.00 to 01.00 every night

1. Viking market were you can buy products and see with your own eyes how
it was to live during viking times. Open every day from 13.00 but the restau-
rant opens every day at 12.00 for lunch.
2. The Viking village is a unique unit and lacks comparison.
It is the only one in the world, and that is why the saying goes that “you have
not been to the real Iceland until you have experienced the Viking Village“.
3. Viking show, live entertainment with the Vikings, food and drinks and all
for just 3.600 krónur or 30 Euros. (A glass of beer shark and dry fish and big
bowl of meat soup in a Viking way. Starts at 18.30 every night.

Viking feast every night from 19.30 to 01.00. Good food, lots of fun and a new
experience in a surrounding that you have not seen before.
Ala carte menue as well if you are not going for the Viking dinner which we of
course recommend most of all.
