Discover Ólafsvík

Photos, information and travel guides for your stay.

Ólafsvík is a small town in Iceland on the northern side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. At one point in the 17th and 18th centuries, commercial vessels sailed between Ólafsvík and Denmark, and the village was one of the larger trading ports in Iceland. Ólafsvík became a certified trading place, authorized by the Danish King and Danish authorities, in 1687.

As one of the oldest settlements in Iceland, Ólafsvík is steeped in history and culture. Its roots can be traced back to the Viking Age, and many of its buildings date back to the 19th century. Despite its small size, this town is a hub of activity, with a bustling fishing industry and a lively cultural scene.

One of the main draws of Ólafsvík is its proximity to the stunning Snæfellsjökull glacier. This majestic natural wonder is the centerpiece of Snæfellsjökull National Park, and can be seen from almost anywhere in town. Whether you're an avid hiker or just looking for a scenic stroll, the park offers a range of trails that cater to all levels of fitness and experience.
