Seyðisfjörður

📍 East Iceland

📖 Description

Seyðisfjörður is a perfectly preserved 19th-century fjord town surrounded by steep mountains and cascading waterfalls Iceland's most scenic village by many accounts. Colourful wooden houses cluster around the fjord head, linked to the Ring Road by a mountain road with dramatic hairpin bends. The town has become an artists' colony with galleries, music festivals, and a creative atmosphere unlike anywhere else in rural Iceland.
