Come and enjoy with us!
The Christmas Village in Hafnarfjörður will be opened with a festive programme on Thorsplani on Friday, 15 November, when the lights will be switched on on the Cuxhaven Christmas tree. The German Ambassador, the Mayor of Hafnarfjörður and the chairman of the Hafnarfjörður-Cuxhaven twinning association will light the tree. The Christmas tree is a gift from Cuxhaven, Hafnarfjörður's German twin town for 36 years, and will light up the Christmas Village in its new location in December.

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, and the beautifully decorated Christmas houses in Hafnarfjörður's Thorsplan have long been nationally renowned for a variety of exciting gifts, gourmet treats, handicrafts and design. It's the perfect place to search for the ideal Christmas present whilst enjoying delicious treats to warm you from the inside out. The Christmas elves visit on Saturdays, and Grýla will be roaming the town on Sundays. Strandgata, from Lækjargata to Linnetstíg, is closed to traffic while the Christmas Village is open. This is to spread pedestrian traffic around the city centre and ensure the safety of our visitors.
We are the Christmas town of Hafnarfjörður
