Stykkishólmur is a charming town of about 1,100 with a picturesque harbour located on the northern shore of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. Its long history dates back to 1550 when a trading post was established here, and it is home to some unique attractions such as the Norwegian House (the oldest two-storey building in the country), Volcano Museum, Library of Water (an art installation), and Snæfellsjökull National Park. This charming town offers visitors plenty of activities such as taking a boat tour of Breiðafjörður Bay or relaxing in a hot spring, and exploring the natural beauty of the area. Every year, Stykkisholmur celebrates its historic ties with Denmark at their "Danish Day" event. It is a great destination for travelers looking to enjoy Iceland's stunning scenery and rich culture.
