Get to know some of the most notorious ghosts of Icelandic history while being guided through a 1,000-square-meter maze at the Menningarverstöðin (cultural center) in Stokkseyri. The Ghost Center can be found on the third floor, and on the first floor, you will find the Icelandic Wonders Museum, which is dedicated to elves and the northern lights. According to Icelandic legend, ghosts can appear in all shapes or forms, and some of them may still roam the halls today.

On a slow day, you might just find yourself alone at this casual little swimming pool in the center of town. The hot tubs are a great place to meet locals, so don't be afraid to say hello. 

If you would like to see where the brave fisherman that battled the North Atlantic Sea slept and ate during their days ashore in the 18th and 19th centuries, check out this restored turf house. It once belonged to Þuríður Einarsdóttir, one of the few female boat captains in Iceland.
