Introducing Húsavík
Húsavík, Iceland’s whale-watching capital, is a picturesque harbour town that has become a firm favourite on travellers’ itineraries. With its colourful houses tumbling down to the water and the snowcapped peaks of Viknafjöll across the bay, it’s the prettiest fishing town on the northeast coast. Húsavík is also home to several interesting museums: the award-winning Whale Museum, a rather bizarre but unique Phallological Museum, and a better-than-average local-history museum. The town also has a good selection of accommodation and restaurants and a lively but relaxed atmosphere, making it a perfect base to explore the area.
