Neighbourhood information

Siglufjörður is well located on top of the Troll Peninsula, the northernmost town in Iceland. There are endless walking, hiking and biking trails in the mountains, with spectacular views over the peninsula. We are also very proud of our new golf course and our popular ski area; Skarðsdalur, where you can find the longest slope in Iceland. The Troll Peninsula is also very popular for ski-touring - here you can ski from the top of the mountain all the way down to the beach. In town we have the international awarded "Herring Era Museum", Frida´s Chocolate Café, Barber´s Bar, Segull, a local brewery, fish shop with delicious "Fish & Chips", indoor and outdoor swimming pools, restaurants and bars. You can also enjoy kayaking or angle fishing in the sea, in a lake close by and in the towns creak. What a great place.
