Iceland is full of little off the road joys and this is one of them. It is a little house that is lush and grassy with cross. The actual house was closed when we went but I still loved just being at this house.

Visited the Folk Museum filling in with another trip, and it was nice to see. Plenty of things to see, located in the middle of nowhere with some local houses around and beautiful scenery. We were lucky enough to have a sunny clear day, and enjoyed the traditional out door houses, school and church from the 1800's. Worth a visit... More

It is well worth making the effort to go here. The old houses are beautifully preserved and the staff give a very interesting tour. The guides have a detailed knowledge of the history and the tour also included practical demonstrations such as wool spinning. The trip was included for "free" in our Reykjavik tourist ticket!

l went there in November and it was great. Staff there is really helpful, they took time to explane everything and show us things that we were interested in.

This is Iceland's equivalent of Old Sturbridge Village--a collection of original buildings moved to create a narrative of a key period in history. In the summer, visitors can wander the site, which is in Reykjavik, but at the edge (half hour by bus from the center) and meet interpreters, but in winter, only a once-a-day guided tour is available.

Reykjavík has loads of great museums, but this one is my favorite! I have been there 3 times now and each times I'm learning a bit more. During the summer, all the houses are open and you can visit them at your own speed or go for a guided visit ( I would advise a guided visit), they also organize... More

This is a wonderful experience and we were pleased that we had arrived at the set up time for an authentic Viking feast. The costumes on the participants were great and so too was the food, especially the spit roast. The township is charming too.
