Bakkafjordur Travel Guide

Iceland

Bakkafjordur is a very small Icelandic settlement with a population of 78, located in the north-east of the country. Its remote setting makes it a base for exploring the surrounding fjord and rural landscape rather than a city for extensive urban sightseeing.

Travellers arriving by air can use Bakkafjordur Airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so beach trips are not a main feature of staying here. Expect a cool, changeable climate, with mild summers and cold winters typical of northern Iceland.
