A Glimpse into the Past

Founded in the late 19th century, Sauðárkrókur grew as a fishing and trading hub for North Iceland.

The town is around 300 kilometers from Reykjavik. You can drive along the scenic Ring Road or take a domestic flight to the nearby Akureyri airport, followed by a short drive.
