If your trip to Skagafjörour is all organized but your itinerary is looking a little empty, let us give you a few hints and tips.Think about extending your trip by an extra day or so. Once you’ve explored the center, Holar Cathedral and Church in Víðimýri are some other nearby attractions that are worth a detour.

With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Akureyri, 34 miles away, has to offer. Akureyri Church, Akureyri Botanical Garden and Sulur alone justify the drive out here. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Dalvik, 34 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Hamar Golf Club. (But we’d also recommend Swimming Pool Dalvik and Byggðasafnið Hvoll.)
