You'll find the Christmas spirit with us.
The Christmas Town and Christmas Village are bustling with life and fun in the run-up to Christmas. The beautifully decorated Christmas houses in Hafnarfjörður on Thorsplani have long been nationally renowned for a variety of exciting gifts, gourmet treats, crafts and design.
It's the perfect opportunity to find the ideal Christmas present in the Christmas Village, whilst enjoying delicious food to warm you from the inside out. The Christmas elves visit every weekend, and Grýla will be roaming the town on Sundays.
Strandgata, from Lækjargata to Linnetstíg, becomes a pedestrianised street while the Christmas Village is open. This is to spread pedestrian traffic throughout the city centre and ensure the safety of all our valued visitors.
We are the Christmas town of Hafnarfjörður
We give you and yours a warm welcome.
