Hafnarfjörður, the third largest town in the country, is probably the biggest Christmas town in Iceland, and has been for years. At Thorsplan in the city center there is a ice skating rink as well as a whole Christmas village, the whole center is beautifully decorated. Hellisgerði, an outdoor paradise right next to the city center is decorated with lights, as is half the town. Hafnarfjörður is a true Christmas town. For the young and the old. Icelandic Times of course made a trip to Hafnarfjörður, like so many people from the capital area to experience light in the dark.
