• Bildudalur Bildudalur, on the bay Arnarfjordur, is a thriving fishing port and a commercial centre. Shrimp is caught in large quantities in the bay and processed in the village. One of Iceland’s oldest houses is in Bildudalur and the country’s first steamship equipped for fishing was brought to Bildudalur at the end of the 19th century. A good camping site is at the sport field and hiking is popular in the nearby region, which boasts of high and beautiful mountains, spectacular valleys and an interesting sea shores. The distance from the capital is 405 km by the Whale Bay tunnel.
• Brianslaekur This ancient estate and parsonage is situated at the mouth of the bay Vatnsfiord. During catholic times, the patron saint of the church was St. Gregorius. The hamlet Brianslaekur is one of the two end stations of the car ferry Baldur and the location of a small fishing outfit. South of it, down by the sea, are old ruins called Flokatottir. They were named after one of the three discoverers of the country. His name was Raven-Floki. He took ravens with him on his way to the country to decide where the nearest country was located on his journey by releasing them at intervals. He climbed a mountain in the area and saw a bay further north filled with drift ice and named the country Iceland.In a gully just above the hamlet very clear and intact fossilized plant leaves have been found in thick layers.
• Patreksfjordur Patreksfjordur is one of the communities of Vesturbyggd, where the main trades are fishing and fish processing. The town is also a commercial centre for the region. The vicinity offers a variety of interesting places to explore and hiking and mountain climbing are popular. The sheer beauty of the region attracts many tourists and tourism plays an increasing role. Tours are on offer to the cliff Latrabjarg, Europe's westernmost point. Some 25 km to the west, at the farm Hnjotur, there is an unique privately operated aeronautical and folk museum. The late farmer collected artefacts and memoriabilia during his lifetime, especially connected to the Icelandic aeronautical history, and to crown his efforts, one of the items in his possession is an old Russian Antonov biplane in prime condition, which is on display at the farm. The distance from Reykjavik is 422 km by the Whale Bay tunnel.
• Snaefellsnes Peninsula On a clear day in Reykjavik, one can gaze northwest and see the shining Snaefellsjokull glacier, 60 miles away. Though the glacier is nowhere near in size to some of Iceland’s others, it is by far the most mysterious and popular. It was this glacier that French Author Jules Verne chose as his doorway into inner space in his fantastical book, Journey to the Center of the Earth. It rests near lands end on one of Iceland’s most beloved landscapes -- the Snaefellsnes Peninsula -- and its bright, mysterious beauty seems to embody the entire region. One of the reasons why Icelander’s love the Snaefellsnes Peninsula so much (aside from its enchanting landscape brimming with lava caves, waterfalls, and mineral hot springs) is that it is a veritable heartland of history. Some of the best and most important sagas took place here, and it is said that Christopher Columbus once spent a winter in Ingjaldsholl, where he heard stories of lands to the west.  
• Stykkishólmur For centuries, Stykkishólmur has been a center of trade, service and transport for the Breiðafjörður area. The village is still the ideal destination for those who are visiting the Breiðafjörður area, the Snæfellsnes peninsula, the Dalir valleys and the Borgarfjörður district. The distance from Reykjavík to Stykkishólmur is 165 km by the Hvalfjörður tunnel. Regular coaches serve the villages on the north coast of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. The car ferry Baldur sails across Breiðafjörður Bay to Brjánslækur twice a day during the summer months, stopping at the island Flatey on the way, offering travellers the opportunity of a half-day visit to this historical site. The Eyjaferðir boats offer a wide range of sightseeing cruises around the southernmost islands of the Bay, as well as cruises from Öndverðanes to Látrarbjarg.
