Summer for the Herring Era Museum and hiking; winter for skiing and snowy fjord scenery.

A dramatically sited northern town famed for its herring history and award-winning Herring Era Museum.

Siglufjörður is a dramatically sited town at the mouth of a narrow northern fjord, once the booming heart of Iceland’s herring industry and now a beautifully restored destination reached through a series of mountain tunnels.

Its award-winning Herring Era Museum recreates the frantic ‘silver of the sea’ years, and the revived marina is lined with restaurants and guesthouses. There’s a Folk Music Centre, good skiing in winter, and a scenic coastal drive on to Ólafsfjörður and Akureyri.
