What travellers are saying
- Cassie BLas Vegas, NV7 contributionsThis hotel has a kitschy Viking theme for the many tourists. The staff were so kind and accommodating. We were pleasantly surprised that breakfast was included. We enjoyed our stay except for the on site construction.Written 21 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LenaCKKManama, Bahrain107 contributionsThis is a fun, 5-minute attraction for young children if you happen to already be in the area. Otherwise, I would not drive in from Reykjavik to view it.Written 31 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Traveler7771713195 contributionsThis museum is known as the Duus Museum. One block from the Hotel Berg, 6 minutes from the Keflavik Airport. Have lunch at the Duus Kaffe and enjoy this fabulous museum.Written 11 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 599AngelaToronto, Canada526 contributionsThe Duushus museum is a combination of art gallery, environmental centre, museum, and historic site all rolled into one. The many rooms, however, are not clearly marked and a lot of the information is only in Icelandic. An enormous collection of wooden ship models, some rotating local art, a huge largely unmarked upstairs room with a vast collection of materials tracing the Danish roots of the area and the various societies and individuals involved. Plus a nice little exhibit on the WW2 and subsequent US occupation of the area during the cold war.
And a beautiful attic which catches the sunlight in August, also largely unmarked, and a working wagon hoist from when the building was a coastal warehouse.
Next to impossible to figure out how to get from one place to another, but well worth a visit and a wander.Written 22 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- heatherr1976Somerset, PA108 contributionsGreat introduction to Iceland! This mountain can be easily seen from the main road. Loved coming in early from our plane and seeing the sunrise with the mountain in view.Written 18 February 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Naja RPula, Croatia31 contributionsInteresting place to visit. You can actually imagine how tectonic plates are moving. Very educational. But you don't need more than. 15 minutes.Written 29 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Barbara MSpringfield, MO3,233 contributionsParking is available, not much here, but it is very interesting to imagine living like this at some point. Glad I don't have to. Signs explain a lot, and it is very windy, too. GPS brought us here directly. Glad I got to see one of these uniquely structures up close.Written 21 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Axell33Baldivis, Australia804 contributionsThis monument is like many, interesting when you see it but definitely not a destination attraction. On a nice day its a nice place for a walk along the waterfront. Certainly enjoy the monument on the way past enjoying the area.Written 15 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chiara C.Milan, Italy171 contributionsJust above the art gallery, a two storeys preserved all wooden tturfhouse with objects, artifacts and memorabilia telling the story of the merchants who lived here. Not all writings are in English, but just enough to enjoy the visit.Written 8 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
