What Snæfellsnes is known for
A compact peninsula nicknamed "Iceland in miniature": volcanoes, lava fields, golden beaches, fishing villages and the iconic Snæfellsjökull glacier.
Top things to do
- Drive around Snæfellsjökull National Park and visit the black church at Búðir
- Walk the coastal cliffs at Arnarstapi and Hellnar
- See the seals at Ytri Tunga beach
- Visit the colourful harbour town of Stykkishólmur
- Hike part of the Snæfellsjökull glacier or take a guided cave tour
How to get there
About 2 hours drive north from Reykjavik via the Hvalfjörður tunnel or the coastal road. A long day trip is possible, but an overnight stay is more relaxed.
How long to stay
One or two nights. One night covers the main highlights; two nights let you hike, whale watch or simply slow down.
When to visit
Summer for the best weather, open roads and puffins; winter for dramatic light and aurora, though some highland tracks close.
Where to stay
Stykkishólmur is the largest town with the most choice. Arnarstapi, Hellnar and Búðir have small guesthouses right by the coast.
