    Guesthouses are a cozier and more authentic accommodation option compared to hotels, and usually considerably less expensive. I highly recommend Guesthouse Galleri Vik - the woman who runs it, Gudrun, was an absolute gem. :)

    We loved the town of Vik and our 3 night stay at Hotel Kira. The restarant within the hotel is awesome not just at breakfast but at dinner time as well. Loved their cucumber and sykr dessert. Thank you for making videos about Iceland. I used many of your tips from past videos when planning my trip last October.

    We were in Vik Dec. 2018 at the place that sells Icewear…..anyway out the back parking lot there is a blue sign, something like "to the beach" was hilarious to get photos of all the blowing snow with people trying to walk in the snow, ice and wind... just general winter pictures with that sign! I should enlarge it and hang it up.

    Great video and enjoyed the recommendations. We just came back from our trip that included Vik and can say that those in the area will not want to miss it. We stayed in the Puffin and were satisfied: Kria was booked months in advanced. Coffee/matcha at Skool Beans, dinner at Black Crust Pizzaria, and a lovely horseback ride on the (hidden) beach with Vik Horse Adventure. Day 2 was to Vestmannaeyjar but that’s for another post.

    As always make sure you check the weather conditions too as the roads got closed in and out of Vik while we were over there so we were stranded in Vik for 2 days

Also what is the name of the restaurant with the cheese pizza and jam? Thank you in advance
