Siglufjörður offers a variety of interesting and enjoyable things to do and see, both for the travelers and for those in search of some outdoor activity. The town has about 1200 inhabitants.
The winter turns the town into a paradise for the skier and is a dream come true for the outdoor enthusiast. Here they have a choice of trying some cross-country skiing, slalom, skating, ski touring or zipping across the snow on a snowmobile.
During the summer, it is the mountains, the lake and the black sandy shores which call to us, and there is a wide selection of walks and hikes in both mountain and valley to tempt the visitor.
In SIglufjörður you can also find Síldarminjasafnið the herring museum is the largest marine and industrial museum in Europe. It is housed in three widely differing premises where the visitor can become acquainted with the pursuit of the “silver darlings” and the processing of that valuable commodity. Very interesting museum to visit.
The old building style of the town is very unique and amazing to see how they have restored the old buildings in this old style.
