We took the hire car out to try and see the northern lights - but unfortunately it was cloudy. But should you wish to see them, head here as the sky is wide and far, barren land by the city.
Nothing much here except for the lighthouses and a ship. Bitterly cold on a winter night. Almost gave up when the lights didn't appear, just as we were leaving, the lights came on and it was spectacular!!! Went with grayline tour... too many people, would be better if u came alone by car.
We visited the lighthouse as part of the Northern Lights tour. It is a beautiful area and quite a lovely experience. In the black of night, the glow of the turning beacons was something to see. Even if we hadn't seen the Northern Lights I could have sat and watched these lights all night. Beautiful. There were 100's of us there but you felt the experience was very personal.
We saw northern lights here on Friday 30th Jan. It was a short taxi ride and great as it was away from the city lights. The photos of the northern lights came out really well too.
Great for a small trip at nature site close to the city center. We took bus #11 going westwards to Hofgardar. Beautiful scenery, rich on bird life in the right seasons.Only possible to walk out to the lighthouse at low tide. Make sure to check when the tide is rising to get back in time. Closed in nesting season about May 15th to July 15th.
Nothing is like sitting there and enjoying the sunset in late summer. The colours are just amazing, see for yourself...
It was quaint but quite a ways out of town along the harbor. Still had a bit of history and you should do it once if you are there.
We took wedding photos here at sunset - amazing! If you want to get out next to the lighthouse you have to walk a bit on rocks near the water. We just went out to the beach area and it was beautiful.
Lovely views, lovely beach, good walk near by, it takes a great photo and plenty of parking nearby. Probably better to see in the summer.
Went in search of Grotta lighthouse but the snow overtook the trip and we were forced to return to town,beautiful scenery though with or without the snow
