Sauðárkrókur has about 2535 inhabitants. Here you will find a variety of services on offer; exhibitions, museums, places of entertainment.
On the main street, you will find a store called Haraldur Júlíusson, which has been in constant operation since 1919. Also the Minjahúsið Folk Museum, where four small workshops demonstrate the types of occupation pursued by the inhabitants of Sauðárkrókur in days gone by – and they even have a polar bear on display! Minjahúsið also houses the Tourist Information Bureau.
The town is one of the busiest most important communities outside the capital, and it would be hard to find better services anywhere outside the Reykjavík area.
