Summer for Breiðafjörður boat trips and Flatey island; year-round for the harbour and auroras.

A picturesque harbour town on Snæfellsnes with colourful houses and Breiðafjörður island ferries.

Stykkishólmur is the largest and prettiest town on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, its harbour lined with restored timber houses in cheerful colours. It looks out over Breiðafjörður, a vast bay scattered with countless small islands.

Climb Súgandisey for sweeping views, visit the Norwegian House museum and Roni Horn’s Library of Water, and take a boat trip across Breiðafjörður or the ferry to the tiny island of Flatey. Snæfellsjökull and its national park are within easy reach.
