A tiny Icelandic fishing town, it would appear at first glance that there isn't much to see here. Wrong! This strategically located town is the perfect jumping off point to enjoy the once in a lifetime experience of visiting the Vatnajokull Glacier. Your car hire from Auto Europe will allow you to explore this thrilling territory and then set off to explore the rest Iceland has to offer. With an extensive car hire fleet we strive to make sure your car hire experience is simple and convenient.
If you happen to be in Hofn in late June or early July, you will be lucky enough to enjoy the annual Lobster Festival this town of less than 2000 inhabitants celebrates. The major draw in this town is definitely the glacier. It is the largest glacier in Iceland, better see it now since it has been steadily shrinking for the past few years! A hike through the valleys of Hofn may reveal a wide selection of semi-precious stones like opal, jasper or rhyolite. If you grow weary of the slow pace of the region, hop in your car hire and head out on the open road to Vik or Eskifjordur.
