“The village is quite small, so we recommend exploring on foot. Park at the harbor, then get on the Súgandisey Lighthouse hill for a panoramic view of the town. Then, stroll towards the landmark Stykkishólmskirkja Church through quaint streets with art galleries, cozy cafes, and unique shops.”

“If you've got some extra time — take a boat tour to the Breiðafjörður Bay to see the diverse birdlife, seals, and dramatic sea stacks.”
