Seyðisfjörður

Seyðisfjörður is a jewel of the Eastfjords, a colourful town of old Norwegian timber houses at the head of a steep, waterfall-lined fjord. Reached by a spectacular mountain road, it has become a magnet for artists and creatives.

Its rainbow-painted street leading to the blue church is one of Iceland’s most photographed scenes. Add the Tvísöngur sound sculpture on the hillside, a lively arts scene and the weekly ferry to mainland Europe, and it’s a uniquely atmospheric stop.
