• Eskifjörður
  Eskifjörður is a quiet town in the Eastern part of Iceland, Estfjords, set deep in a narrow fjord and surrounded by steep mountains. It has a strong fishing heritage, which still shapes everyday life and gives it an authentic, down-to-earth feel.

• Wartime Museum
  The Wartime Museum in Reyðarfjörður offers a look into the town’s role during World War II, when it became a major Allied base. Through photographs, uniforms, and personal items, it tells the story of the thousands of soldiers who were stationed there and how their presence changed local life.

  It’s a small but very atmospheric museum, giving a more personal glimpse of the wartime years rather than just the big historical overview.

• Town Walks
  Many enjoyable walking trails are in Eskifjörður and surrounding areas. A path along the shoreline gives an easy view across the fjord while passing old houses, small boats and the everyday harbor life. 

• Five Fabulous Fjords
  The Five Fabulous Fjords are a group of neighboring fjords in East Iceland, often explored together for their mix of small towns, dramatic landscapes, and quiet coastal roads. They include Reyðarfjörður, Eskifjörður, Fáskrúðsfjörður, Norðfjörður, and Seyðisfjörður.

  Each fjord has its own character, but what ties them together is the sense of space and contrast—steep mountains, calm waters, and villages that feel both remote and welcoming. Traveling between them is part of the experience, with scenic drives, hidden viewpoints, and a rhythm that encourages you to slow down and take it all in.
