Seyðisfjörður, Iceland, is a really cute town along one of the fjords on the east coast of Iceland. To get to the town, you drive down along a windy and somewhat steep, mountainous road toward the bay. Along the way, you can stop at the impressive Gufufoss Waterfall to take pictures of both the falls and the spectacular view that looks over the valley.
The town is quite small and sleepy and easy to walk around to see everything. There is a supermarket on the main road on the way in, and signs leading to different attractions around the town. You will find the public toilets in the campground building opposite the beautiful blue church building. There is also a bank and an ATM here for stocking up on cash and a petrol station if you need fuel.
The town has quite an artistic feel to it, with an art museum and a few other festivals that they run at different times of the year. There is also a technical museum that you can visit if you have the time. There are also a number of great hikes that you can do as well.
