Stykkishólmur
Pop 1091
The charming town of Stykkishólmur, the largest on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, is built up
around a natural harbour tipped by a basalt islet. It's a picturesque place with a laid-back
attitude and a sprinkling of brightly coloured buildings from the late 19th century. With a
comparatively good choice of accommodation and restaurants, and handy transport links,
Stykkishólmur makes an excellent base for exploring the region.
It featured in Ben Stiller's
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
(2013).
