The Christmas Village in Hafnarfjörður opened last weekend when the lights were turned on on the Cuxhaven Christmas tree in a new location! The Christmas village is buzzing with life and excitement for Christmas, and the beautifully decorated Christmas houses have long since become nationally known for all kinds of exciting gift items, delicacies, handicrafts and design. This is the perfect place to look for the perfect Christmas gift while enjoying delicious refreshments that warm you up from the inside and out. Yule lads visit the village all weekends and their mother Grýla will also be wandering around town on Sundays.
Strandgata from Lækjargata to Linnetstígur will turn into a pedestrian street while the Christmas Village is open. This is done to spread pedestrian traffic around the town center and ensure the safety of our good guests

Take part in a Christmas ritual in the Christmas Village and find the thirteen Yule lads, Grýla, Leppalúði and the Christmas cat! The game is about finding the thirteen figures on lampposts all around the town center. And how does one play the game? Next to each pole there is a card with the Yule lad´s name and a QR code. Scan the code in order to find the right letter to write down. The letters then form a short sentence that must be submitted electronically. A help sheet can be obtained at the Library, the Heritage Museum (Byggðasafn Hafnarfjarðar), Hafnarborg museum, in the glass houses at Thorsplan or download it here. You can participate until December the 22nd. Participation prizes will be awarded on Þorláksmessa, December the 23rd. More information here.
