Seltjarnarnes: the back story

About Seltjarnarnes: the back story

By the ULTIMATE Reykjavík Editorial Team

Editor-in-Chief: Jai Michael

Seltjarnarnes is the small town on the peninsula west of Reykjavík, with shore paths, birdlife and Grótta lighthouse at its tip, joined to the land at low tide.

Sights

Grótta and the shore path.

Check the tide before you walk out to the lighthouse.

Our advice: come on a clear winter night, away from the city lights, for the aurora.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Seltjarnarnes: the back story before you go.
