Fodor's Expert Review Viking Festival Hafnarfjörður

Hafnarfjörður holds a Viking festival every June. Over the course of a weekend, the historical reenactment group Rimmugýgur has thrilling sword fights in traditional Viking clothing, tells tales of the Old Icelandic Vikings to children and adults alike, and teaches their guests how to make jewelry out of bones and stones. There's also a fun market where one can pick up leatherwear, swords, drinking horns, and other Viking necessities.
