If you’re thinking of going to Iceland and including the Westfjords in your trip, this guide is made for you. I have been living in the Westfjords for 2 years now and started working as a tourist guide alongside my studies. I have traveled around the country and I still think that the Westfjords are among the most remote and beautiful places. When people go to Iceland, they often come for 7 or 10 days around the ring road, and skip the Westfjords due to lack of time or because they have never heard of the Westfjords. This small region of 7,000 inhabitants has so much to show you. You do need a good car and a few days to visit it though, because roads are winding and are subject to the harsh climate (check veður.is) Roads are often closed in the winter (check road.is), but it is an incredible time to go to the Westfjords to see snowy fjords and northern lights. Get this guide if: - you’re interested in visiting the Westfjords and spend a few days there - you don’t mind driving a lot - you want tips and recommendations from someone that lives there - you want to know where to find the best hot pots in Iceland
