Siglufjordur Travel Guide

Iceland

Siglufjordur is a small town in northern Iceland, with a population of around 1,190. Its location puts it in Iceland’s far north, where travellers can expect a cool maritime climate and marked seasonal changes in daylight.

The town is served by Siglufjordur Airport (SIJ), making air travel the most direct listed arrival option. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so the nearby coastline is better approached as part of the wider northern Icelandic landscape than as a beach destination.
