What is there to do in Stykkisholmur?

Iceland’s most charming town has elevated into prominence recently, and it’s easy to see why; picturesque bays decorate the harbour and colourful buildings grace the inland. The bonus feature that accompanies the glorious aesthetics is the relaxed, carefree ambience that embodies the town – welcoming staff and friendly locals thrive on the influx of tourists - creating a peaceful environment. Verdant mountainside affording breathtaking vistas of the stunning surroundings are oftentimes too spectacular to depart from, tempting many ardent hikers into spending the entirety of their trip on the challenging walking trails. The beautiful landscape can overpower the allure of the attractions gracing the town, though to miss out on the architecture that dominates the centre would be unforgivable; Stykkisholmskirkja Church is the highlight of the landmarks, evincing the incredible structural designs. After a day of sightseeing, cool yourself down by swimming in the hugely popular outside pool, which is especially enjoyable at the midst of summer.
