Come home to the Christmas town of Hafnarfjörður at Advent
Hafnarfjörður welcomes Christmas with its annual Christmas village, full of joy, delicious treats and fun Christmas wares, a splendour of lights and a world of wonder in Hellisgerði, Hjartasvelli and so much more.
The Christmas village at Thorsplan in Hafnarfjörður is open every weekend from 17th November; Fridays from 5 pm - 8 pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 1 pm - 6 pm until Christmas, and until 9 pm on Christmas Eve. The Christmas Village is a hive of festive activity, and the beautifully decorated houses of Hafnarfjörður have long been nationally renowned for a wide variety of exciting gifts, gourmet treats, crafts and design. It's the perfect place to find the ideal Christmas present while enjoying delicious food and drink to warm you from the inside out. Father Christmas visits on Saturdays, and Grýla will be roaming the town on Sundays. Strandgata becomes a pedestrianised street while the Christmas Village is open.
