    Great place to spend an afternoon
    Didn't plan to come here, but so glad we did. We visited because we were intrigued by Skyrland on the way to our next hotel, and ended up spending a whole afternoon wandering around here. Lovely shops that aren't just full of tourist souvenirs. Lots of great places to eat.

    Cute new built area
    Selfoss is a small town in southern Iceland with nothing to do, but serving as a lodging base for the island tour. To enrich social life and tourist potential, town government started a program of rebuilding the town center. It's located just after the bridge when you enter Selfoss, by the old dairy factory (now a restaurant). You can see the map of what's planned to do - half of the project is done, while the rest should be finished in two years. Houses and shops look cute, however theme park like. Anyway it was nice to walk around as you have nothing else to do after dinner.

    What's Old is New Again
    This town is part way through a major rebuilding of it's center. What has been completed is very charming, with shops, cafes, restaurants and a nice common patio area. When we were there, crowds had gathered to watch a Euro Cup game on a big screen set up on the patio. This created a nice setting. We grabbed a coffee and pastry from one of the shops and enjoyed them with the game. It's all new, clean and nice.

    THE place to be in Selfoss
    Interesting restaurant and shopping destination. Other than Reyjavik the towns we visited in Iceland didn't really have a distinct town centre like in the UK. This is a very good attempt to create one. It is only partially complete but still has character. They have rebuilt character buildings from Icelands past.
