Timeline

  1. 14:00

    Frida Kaffihus

    Grab a coffee and a salad at Frida Kaffihus. The modern building offers some of the most magnificent views of the harbour and fjords, making it a perfect spot to settle in for the afternoon. It is open Mon–Sat, so this time works well.

  2. 14:30

    Angus Steakhouse

    Walk just two minutes to Angus Steakhouse for a substantial lunch. Order the fish and chips or a burger; the portion is large enough to satisfy even a very hungry appetite. The kitchen serves Angus beef and seafood options in a relaxed setting.

  3. 15:00

    Vágstún

    Head to Vágstún, the small square garden with a memorial in its centre, located right in front of the InterSport shop. Use this central point to orient yourself before exploring the nearby public art.

  4. 15:05

    J. F. Kjølbro

    Walk four minutes north from the garden to see the public art piece by J. F. Kjølbro. It is a short, easy stroll that keeps you close to the town centre.

  5. 15:15

    Húkurin

    Continue your walk nine minutes east-southeast to Húkurin, a model of a Mustad Atlantic Limerick fishing hook. This piece connects the town’s heritage to its present-day identity as a fishing community.
