We've compiled the best of the best in Húsavík - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
A unique and unusually large church by Icelandic standards, Húsavíkurkirkja is the town’s most iconic landmark attraction and focal point of postcards and images. It was built to accommodate the entire community at the time it was built in 1907 and still serves the public with regular services and ceremonies. Some residents modeled for the large altar painting depicting the resurrection of Lazurus, but not everyone was happy with the result.
This leafy, scenic town park is complete with a babbling brook, duck pond, and some exotic tree species such as the Manchurian cherry. It's perfect for an afternoon stroll in any weather but is particularly charming in the summer, which comes with the soundtrack of quacking ducks.
