West Coast

When we picture Iceland, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the collection of amazing landscapes that can be found in the country. And it’s normal, because nature here comes in all shapes and sizes. However, there are a good number of towns and cities that also deserve attention. They are the places where Icelandic culture can be experienced best. One of them is Borgarnes, a coastal town in West Iceland. It might not be the most famous place in this Nordic country, but it should definitely be on your radar. With a blend of natural beauty, intriguing history, and a peaceful, small-town vibe, Borgarnes has something for every traveler. Its location makes it a great stop on your way to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula or your base for exploring the Vesturland region.
