Make the Most of Your Borgarbyggð Stay

Gateway to saga country

Borgarnes occupies a dramatic headland jutting into Borgarfjörður, where Iceland's most celebrated literary heritage meets the practicalities of a vital service hub. This is the home territory of Egill Skallagrímsson, the Viking poet-warrior whose story unfolds at the Settlement Center through immersive exhibitions. The town's position at the junction of routes to Snæfellsnes Peninsula and northern Iceland gives it uncommon energy, while nearby Borg á Mýrum farm and its striking sculpture connect you directly to Iceland's founding narratives.

Dining and distinctive experiences

The culinary scene reflects both roadside efficiency and cultural depth. Englendingavík serves exceptional seafood in a restored historic building overlooking the bay, while the Settlement Center Restaurant offers a wellness-focused buffet emphasizing local ingredients. The geothermal swimming pool draws water directly from Deildartunguhver, Europe's most powerful hot spring, providing authentic communal bathing. The Bjössaróló playground, built entirely from salvaged materials by a local craftsman, represents genuine folk art rarely found in tourist-focused destinations.

Strategic positioning

The town functions as your base for exploring the Silver Circle's waterfalls and hot springs, Snæfellsnes landscapes, or Langjökull glacier's ice tunnels. Route 1 connects you to Keflavík Airport in under 90 minutes, while Strætó buses link Borgarnes to Reykjavík and Akureyri.
