Hnjotur Museum displays a unique collection of old items from the Southern Westfjords. The museum shows the history of fishing, farming and everyday life in the area.

Only 1 supermarket in Patreksfjordur
I would recommend doing the big grocery shopping before you leave the bigger cities (Reykjavik, Mosfellsbaer, Borgarnes) because there are only 1-2 smaller (and expensive) grocery stores in Patró
Qué debes empacar
Slip on shoes, bathing suit and outdoorsy clothes
Bring comfortable slip-on shoes - bathing suits and warm outdoorsy clothes!

Nice playgrounds and a hoppubelgur!
The town has a huge jumping area which is called a Hoppubelgur. It’s colorful, so fun and located close to the street Balar.
