The herring capital
The town grew up around the herring industry, which was very powerful in the 1940s and 1950s. Service to tourists have increased in recent years and every effort is made to welcome all visitors. Siglufjörður has a lot to offer that is worth seeing and enjoying, including the magnificent mountains and the beauty of nature. Short walks up the mountains or in town. It is fun to visit the Herring Museum, which is without a doubt one of the most interesting museums in the country.
