3 Best Sights in Westfjords, Iceland

Old Blacksmith's Workshop

Fodor's choice

Opened in 1913, this blacksmith shop was run by Guðmundur J. Sigurðsson after learning the trade in Denmark. Today, it's a living museum that still has all of the old machines, and you can learn about blacksmithing as it was done more than 100 years ago. This is the perfect activity for a family with kids of various ages.

The Museum of Icelandic Witchcraft and Sorcery

Fodor's choice
If you find the ancient world of Icelandic witchcraft intriguing, this museum is a must-visit. Inside you'll find artifacts with morbid histories, exhibits with terrifying stand-ins, and a pair of necropants with a background so chilling we'll leave you to discover it yourself.

Hnjótur Museum

The exhibits at the Hnjótur Museum speak for themselves—there are no flashy additions, gadgets, or A.I. Learn all about the region's history through traditional garments, reenactments of British trawler rescues, and a full-size plane that's open to explore.
