The Town In The Lava

Also called "The Town In The Lava", the town of Hafnarfjörður (aka Hafnarfjordur, meaning "harbour-fjord") is located just 6 miles outside of Reykjavik. Each year, this romantic small town celebrates Christmas with the Christmas Village. It is open Saturdays and Sundays from noon - 6 pm, until Christmas. Live entertainment starts at 2 pm. On the 23rd the Christmas Village will stay open until 10 pm with a pop concert at night. Just like Iceland's capital Reykjavik, Hafnarfjörður offers great shopping opportunities and many other things to do.
