Welcome HOME to Hafnarfjörður – where warmth reigns supreme.

These days, a Christmas magazine featuring the Christmas town of Hafnarfjörður is being delivered through letterboxes to all homes in Hafnarfjörður and to friends of the town across the greater capital area, the South West and the South Coast.  The Christmas magazine is intended to introduce the Christmas town of Hafnarfjörður to its residents and friends. The magazine contains information about unique places, the town's unique character, its people, delicious recipes and entertainment programme, as well as an Advent greeting from the Mayor of Hafnarfjörður, encouraging the residents of Hafnarfjörður and its friends to enjoy the Advent season and spend time with family and friends.

Welcome to Hafnarfjörður – where warmth reigns supreme.

We, the people of Hafnarfjörður, have managed to create a cosy atmosphere in our town in the run-up to Christmas over the past few years; where gentle Christmas lights, sweet tunes, tempting food, beautiful products and a flourishing culture put their mark on the Christmas town of Hafnarfjörður. The Christmas village in the heart of the town centre attracts an ever-increasing number of visitors, as the atmosphere is friendly and unique.

In my opinion, the best way to prepare for Christmas is to take the time to enjoy these delights in a relaxed atmosphere, strolling between restaurants, cultural institutions and charming shops, and experiencing the fun in the Christmas village with the family, meet friends and acquaintances and capture that sweet Christmas spirit, away from the hustle and bustle.

This year, more than ever, emphasis will be placed on a good atmosphere during Advent; the Christmas Village is growing and expanding, the number of fun events is increasing through collaboration between the town and private parties, and the diverse range of shops and restaurants has been further enhanced. We in Hafnarfjörður are particularly proud of the designer shops that have established themselves in our town and attract large numbers of people. Not to mention the town's cultural institutions, which consistently offer a highly ambitious programme, and the attractive cafés and restaurants where it's always lovely to sit down.

We warmly welcome you all to Hafnarfjörður.
– to enjoy a sweet and warm Christmas spirit during Advent.

Merry Christmas
Rósa Guðbjartsdóttir, Mayor of Hafnarfjörður
