“There are a few restaurants to get a taste of Höfn's incredible seafood scene: Pakkhús Restaurant — best-known for fresh seafood, Humarhöfnin (Lobster House) — specializes in lobster and known for their delicious, buttery langoustine tails, Ósinn Restaurant — just outside the town with beautiful views and lobster pizzas.”
Höfn is a small fishing town surrounded by dramatic scenery, including the Atlantic Ocean, rugged mountains, and expansive glaciers. Being a quieter town compared to Iceland’s more tourist-heavy spots, Höfn offers a peaceful yet scenic retreat.
Höfn is particularly famous for its fresh seafood, especially langoustine (Icelandic lobster), which is celebrated annually during the town’s Lobster Festival.
Exploring Höfn is a relaxing experience, with its small harbor, cozy cafes, and seafood restaurants offering fresh local dishes. The town’s glacier museum provides fascinating insight into the history and science of Iceland’s glaciers. Additionally, the nearby coastline offers peaceful walking trails with stunning views of the Vatnajökull glacier, as well as opportunities to spot wildlife like seals.
