Borgarnes is the largest coastal community in Iceland, which does not depend on fishing for livelihood. Throughout the 20th century the town, a former trading post, has served the farmers in the nearby counties. A great number of summerhouses are in the region so the population in the area multiplies during summer calling for a variety of services.

Borgarnes is situated by the bay Borgarfiord at the glacial river’s Hvita estuary. In the seventies a bridge over the estuary and part of the bay was built and road no.1 now goes through town resulting in an increase in tourism, which again increased by the construction of a tunnel under The Whale Bay, the Whale Bay, and thus shortening the distance from Reykjavik by 42 kilometres.

There are many attractive places within a short distance of Borgarnes, hot springs, magnificent waterfalls, great salmon rivers, and numerous lakes with excellent trout fishing. Travellers are equally drawn to the rivers and lakes due to their spectacular beauty. Hotels and restaurants in Borgarnes offer a variety of services and a good camping place is within the town’s limits. Guided tours of the area are offered during summer, and golf and pony trekking are very popular to name but few of the attractions this quiet and friendly town offers. The distance from Reykjavik is 74 km by the Whale Bay tunnel.
