WHY VISIT

About Djúpivogur

Djúpivogur has a trading history stretching back to 1589 and today is Iceland’s only Cittaslow community. Rather than rushing through, visitors are encouraged to explore slowly: walk the harbour, visit Langabúð, see Eggin í Gleðivík, explore Búlandsnes and watch birds around its lagoons and mudflats while Búlandstindur dominates the skyline.
