Hafnarfjordur Attractions

This picturesque and interesting suburb of Reykjavík is known as the Town in the Lava, due to its location on top of the Burfell lava formation, which dates back to a 7,000 year old eruption.

In the arc of a natural harbor, Hafnarfjörður, Iceland's third-largest town with 20,000 people, has been a trading port longer than any other place in Iceland.

Iceland's only Viking restaurant, Fjörukráin, is located on the waterfront.
