It’s a center of tourism because it’s a great place to come for whale watching. Multiple species can be found at the bay, and you can also visit the Húsavík Whale Museum after you’ve seen one in real life. As the biggest town in northeast Iceland, this is also a great branching off point for a number of hikes that will allow you to explore the surroundings. Many are even passable during the snow-covered winter months, so don’t shy away from seeing Iceland put on its winter finery.
