With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Dalvik, 25 miles away, has to offer. Hamar Golf Club, Swimming Pool Dalvik and Byggðasafnið Hvoll alone make the drive out worthwhile. Situated 40 miles away, Akureyri is another popular option. If you swing by, be sure to check out Akureyri Church, Akureyri Botanical Garden and Sulur.
