The colorful town of Hellissandur, Iceland has earned the title of being the 'street art capital of Iceland'. In 2018, this small community invited international artists to transform an abandoned fish factory and several unadorned buildings around the area with 30 mesmerizing murals. Each mural draws inspiration from local stories such as Iceland’s only recorded serial killer Áxlar-Björn. Visitors to this charming town can explore the many sights these vibrant artwork has to offer or take in the magnificent coastal views from the nearby Svörtuloft Lighthouse. With its impressive street art display, Hellissandur is sure to be a fun and unforgettable place to visit.
